The Blue Ridge Parkway celebrated it's 75th birthday last year. Scenes like this are too many to count along the famous highway. I never tire of driving it or painting the awesome vistas.

I try to evoke feelings of peace and serenity in many of my paintings... the world is often to hectic for me as I suspect it is for you at times too. It is my hope that this painting helps you escape the turmoil of life and relax. I based this painting on a quote by Washington Irving... "There is a serene and settled majesty to woodland scenery that enters into the soul and delights and elevates it, and fills it with noble inclinations.".

This scene of Western Ireland is along the scenic "Ring of Kerry". I still have to paint paintings of Ireland... for an hour or two it takes me back there!

This scene is set in the small coastal town of Swansboro, North Carolina. I was itching to get out and plein air paint... somewhere... anywhere. I called a couple of plein air pards and we decided to converge on Bicentennial Park in downtown Swansboro. I went to the early service at church and arrived in Swansboro around noon. On the way I passed through a drenching downpour but was determined to paint even if it meant finding shelter to do so. Surprisingly enough the rain skirted around us all day with the exception of a few drops here and there. I used the Zorn limited palettte for this painting... it worked well for the overcast look of the day. The Zorn palette (often used by artist and namesake Anders Zorn) consists of Yellow Ochre, Cad Red, Ivory Black (with a tad of Ultramarine Blue) and Titanium White. This scene is set looking across the White Oak River towards Clyde Phillips fish house from the coastal town of Swansboro.

My family and I love Ocracoke Island... we consider it the jewel of the Outer Banks. We usually take the ferry over from Cedar Island at least once a summer. This scene is where Molasses Creek flows into the island from the sound-side... a relaxing spot to plein air paint, fish, or simply sit and take in the beauty.

I painted these three pumpkins from life. Three of my artist fiends gather one every other week to paint a still life from life. We take turns bringing the still life arrangement... cool thing is... you never know what these guys will bring!

The Eastern North Carolina landscape is dotted with tobacco barn scenes like this. Unfortunately, mother nature is claiming most of them. Today they serve as a constant reminder that things change and people adapt.

I love to stroll the docks of Morehead City with my family. The quaint port city is beautiful in scenery and character. We especially love it when the deep sea charter boats bring in their catches for the day!
