While in Ireland, my wife and I visited Bunratty Folk Park in County Clare. The Irish village was set up recreating the general feel of the 19th century with a period style village main street, mill, church, and thatch-roofed cottages. The Bunratty Mill stood out like a jewel in the quaint village. I have painted several paintings of the old mill... here is my latest.

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 The old tobacco barns have been replaced by the modern bulk barn and tobacco is no longer the main crop here...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...
