One of my favorite spots on earth is Rough Ridge Lookout located at mile marker 302 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Rough Ridge is actually the backside of Grandfather Mountain and the views there are magnificent! See what I mean...

The weather was very comfortable for late November but the wind was gusting at 40 mph at times... I had paintbrush in one hand and steadied my easel with the other.

This painting has been in several invitational shows including, "North Carolina Landscapes... from the Mountains to the Sea"... at the Baysden Gallery in Jacksonville, NC.
