The North Carolina Crew

North Carolina

We spent a few days with our son in North Carolina last week. All I can think is that if it is this scenic in the dead of winter, then the scenery must be outstanding during the other seasons. The son assures us that it is.

Old Panaca Home

My son now has this painting. I painted it several years ago--back in the 80's--and recently had the chance to photograph it. I had to take the photo through the picture glass, so the quality isn't the best. Anyway, here it is. (22" x 15").

DUSK, PANACA SUMMIT

(22" x 15") $75.00 No longer in my collection.

AUGUST AFTERNOON

(15" X 11") $45.00

BLUE AND SHADOWS

(15" x 11"). $50.00

A SMALLER VERSION

An old barn at the former Tennell Ranch. The barn is long gone, but I still have a photo or two of it and a couple of paintings as well (15" x 11"). $50.00 No longer in my collection.

BRIDAL VEIL FALLS

Took an afternoon outing with my daughter and grand kids and our foreign exchange student. Pleasant time for everyone.

STATE ROUTE 150 #4

(22" x 15") $75.00

WHEELER PEAK

Another view of Wheeler Peak.

AT 10,500 FEET

Took another day trip back to Great Basin National Park. This time I drove to the end of the road up Wheeler Peak. I wasn't disappointed. This photo fails to do the actual scene justice. It was stunningly beautiful. More so than I could imagine, (and it's in Nevada, folks.) It was almost like winter, but it's only October. Snow had fallen the first of the week, but the road was dry(still a little spooky to drive) and easily passable. When you reach the top, suddenly you see this scene. Wheeler is the second highest mountain in Nevada and reaches 13,000 feet elevation. Very impressive!

STATE ROUTE 150 #3: Forrest Murmurs

I like the interplay of diffused light and soft shadows in this scene. The lighter greens didn't transfer well from camera to computer, but you can still get the evocative mood of the late afternoon light. And a borrowed title from Wagner. (22 x 15") $100.00

STATE ROUTE 150 #2

Shady Lane. (15" x 22") $100.00

STATE ROUTE 150 #1

A nice little scene along State Route 150. I like the way these trees are arranged and almost alone in this rather tangled meadow. (22" x 15") $150
