About this painting:
I never tire painting the North Carolina landscape... I live on the Carolina Coast but spend as much time in the Blue Ridge mountains as possible, all the while, painting as I journey through life.

Growing up in Eastern North Carolina, this was a common scene during my childhood and early adult years. The old tobacco barns have been replaced by the modern bulk barn and tobacco is no longer the main crop here... it has been replaced with cotton and sod. BTW... the bulk barn doesn't hold a candle when it comes to character that these old tobacco barns have!

When my wife runs... I paint! My wife is currently training for a half marathon that she plans to run next month with our middle daughter. She runs at the Jacksonville Commons... I often accompany her... not to run but to paint. This painting is from one those beautiful afternoons at the park.

I chanced upon this scene while driving on HWY 58 between Kinston and Trenton, NC. The green grass complimented by the red barn struck my fancy and inspired this painting.

This painting is the culmination of my love of painting and Robert Frost... "I shall be telling this with a sigh... Somewhere ages and ages hence:... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I... I took the one less traveled by... And that has made all the difference."

The Octagon House in Carteret County has fascinated me since I was a kid. It is the oldest structure in Carteret County, NC and seems to be built according to a popular fad of eight sided houses of the mid 1800's. The grounds offer splendid views of the White Oak River and marsh like this one.

Check this link out on the Octagon House... I did created a blog about it for an Art Appreciation class in college... Click HERE...

Living on the Carolina Coast is a feast for the eyes and ALL senses. I never get tired of painting the local marshlands. They draw me in like a magnet and won't let go... to the point that I seldom cross the dunes and paint the ocean... go figure?

About my paintings on Etsy::
This painting, on a gessoed panel with painted sides, is easily framed, displayed with a decorative easel, or simply propped up on a shelf.

All paintings are signed originals (one-of-a-kind American made) using artist grade paints on archival surfaces with "Certificate of Authenticity" label attached.

The greatest care has been taken to make sure the image mirrors the original painting but please take into consideration that colors may slightly vary due to various computer monitor resolutions. Texture is especially hard to capture on the computer screen... please note that is you like what you see on your computer you will love seeing this painting in real life!

I offer these smaller paintings at collectible prices here at Etsy as not to interfere with my obligations with the galleries that represent me. At the moment, I am a full-time college student and these small studies help offset the cost of my education. As a patron, you are also investing in my future and I cannot thank you enough.

American Artist (and college student)
