After the Storm, watercolor
The Hunter Barn on Caney Fork. An early painting, this barn's front overhang is now very close to falling down. Barns such as this have low hanging shed-like additions which are used for curing burly tobacco.
Ashes to Ashes, watercolor
An old chimney near Cullowhee which was still standing long after the house had burned down. The vines climbing it camouflaged it in summer.
Brown, watercolor
Some good friends commissioned me to do a painting of their German Sheppard. Not a subject I would normally agree to do, but the dog was easy to work with and they are very close friends. I was allowed to set up the scene and was fortunate to find this abandoned house near where they lived.
Church Window, watercolor
This painting resulted from another commission. I was asked to do a painting of a church. On location I was struck by the reflection of the winter light from the setting sun in the side windows of the church. These are definitely not colors which one would normally find on my palette.
