Study, River Glow Great Smoky Mountains I really enjoyed the movement

I really enjoyed the movement and rich color throughout this subject

My home in Knoxville is just moments from this area of the city and I'm confident that I'll explore this part of the city more in future paintings

It's gotten to the point where tourists now ask me for directions on the streets (pats self on back)

whether I’m exploring a city or meandering rural roads

Study, River Glow Great Smoky Mountains I really enjoyed the movementLate afternoon light glows above a mountain stream in the Great Smoky Mountains. I like fall for its brilliant foliage. But I also like it because of the lower angle of the light at that time of year. Everything becomes more engaging when it casts a shadow or forms a cool silhouette.
