About this painting:
Countdown to St Paddy's Day...
Thatched roofed cottages are a common site in Ireland... a beautiful site I must add.

Thought for the day... An Irish Blessing

"May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you
In the palm of his hand."

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.".

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.

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.

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."

Let your mindseye take a peaceful stroll along this old wagon road. This is a scene near my home that I have painted en plein aire several times. The lane is an old sunken wagon road which is one of the oldest roads in Onslow County... it is rumored to be part of the original Post Road (Kings Road) that ran along the the coast from Boston to Charleston. I have used my artistic license by taking out a tree here and there and adding a covered roof to an old tobacco barn. A little gem of a painting that I thoroughly enjoyed working on. Just think... if this is the old Kings Road... George Washington passed this very spot on his famous Southern Tour.

Take a peaceful stroll down this country road with its inviting scene and warm golden light of evening. "Southern Sunset" was created from memory... growing up in the Coastal Plains of North Carolina, I strolled many sandy roads like this as a boy on my way to fishing ponds and through farming fields. I can almost hear mom calling us in for supper about this time of evening... my brother and I would run full speed only to be slowed by the occasional sand spur... ouch!
