This is another from the Coastal Sunrise series. I was indeed, painting at the crack of dawn. A guest in the house came out to look, looked at the sky and water and just said: yup, that's exactly the color out there.
Kinda reassuring....

Oil on Prepared Paper
Floated with edge showing in an extra-deep matt to 16x16

This is one of the Coastal Sunrise plein aire series of morning paintings from Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport, Maine. So many variations in that blue provide interest, and the punch of the sky stripes give the perfect accent!

I've been saving this. This is the view of the Smoky Mountains from that porch on the mountain in Franklin, North Carolina. The sky was ever changing, so amazing and beautiful.

Framed "Orchard Gate"

Orchard Gate
Oil on paper on panel

Gold Frame
$295

Doc had a small orchard of peaches and a couple apples in his lovely mountainside house in Franklin, NC.  Franklin is a short drive from Asheville, is very near the gorgeous Blue Ridge Parkway, and is known for gemstones. Doc's orchard had this lovely white fence and gate. I caught it just as the light was backlighting it. The peaches had just been harvested and were ripening on a table in the back room, and I could have as many as I wanted. Another kind of heaven!

I am still in Franklin, NC on the side of a mountain. This piece shows the entry into the home I was staying in. Actually, you are looking out, as if you were ready to go to town to touch base with civilization. But I like this title better than "Leaving Paradise"!

Framed "Porch Rockers"

 "Porch Rockers"
11x14
Oil on Panel
Gold Frame
$375

This place was absolutely heaven. I was in Franklin, NC, on the side of a mountain sitting every day on this porch. I sat to eat, to listen, to paint, to write in my journal, to think. I had it all to myself for a week. It was a safe haven in a sometimes scary world (night noises? no one else around?) I loved the orange light and the bright turquoise cushions, and the brilliant pink crepe myrtle. I also loved the tiny neon blue salamander that often kept me company.
