Flowers, Flowers Everywhere

"Field of Tulips" (4' x 5')

Thousands of Tulips

This one was just a bit challenging in that it features about 3000 tulips, first sculpted in modeling compound and then painted. Good thing I love my job. This one is also part of the Oklahoma City commission (painting 3 of 4).

Hominy Valley

"Hominy Valley" (16" x 26")

Local North Carolina Scenes

Some of our favorite hiking trails in western North Carolina are just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, southeast of Mt. Pisgah. Waterfalls, streams, amazing vistas and BLUEBERRIES are what make this part of the Blue Ridge landscape so special. The fastest route to the top of the Parkway here is on the back side of Mt. Pisgah. Gradually making your way through rolling hills and Hominy Valley, (a beautiful place filled with wildflowers) you approach the hulking mountain (our local landmark). Many such drives through Hominy Valley have inspired this oil painting. I hope you enjoy it and next time you're in Asheville and feel like exploring, come by the studio and I'll pull out a map and point you in the right direction.
