Always love the open fields near the Oconaluftee Visitor Center in the Smokies. Drove through today and had to do a small painting when I got home!

“First Light Over the Blue Ridge”
40”x16” oil on canvas
Inspired by that early morning light you only get at higher elevations.

These small impressionistic landscapes started as a way to utilize leftover paint, but now I look forward to them! So much of my work involves soft lines and blending which can go wrong with one stroke (and annoys my perfectionist tendencies). There’s something so freeing about these large and contrasting brushstrokes which I think is really good for me.

“Black Balsam Knob” 24”x24” oil on canvas
Such a special place, always bursting with color. It reminds me of that sweeping mountain scene from The Sound of Music. Can’t wait for this one to dry and get it framed!

Hope this gives you a short escape from the winter blues! Really love the way the foreground texture came together on this one.

Another little one with some texture and made with predominately leftover paint. Having fun with thicker and more interpretive strokes!

Grateful for a beautiful, snowy weekend ❄️
Leftover paint found a second life! A lot looser and more interpretive than my typical style, but it’s always fun to mix it up.

One of my favorite spots along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Always full of color in the summer. Still a few highlights and clean-ups to add, but I’m happy with where this one is headed!
