Study, River Glow Great Smoky Mountains I think we all associate

I think we all associate "beautiful light" with pastoral landscape subjects

I really enjoyed the movement and rich color throughout this subject

My home in Knoxville is just moments from this area of the city and I'm confident that I'll explore this part of the city more in future paintings

I'll often head over to this less-traveled avenue

Study, River Glow Great Smoky Mountains I think we all associateLate afternoon light glows above a mountain stream in the Great Smoky Mountains. I like fall for its brilliant foliage. But I also like it because of the lower angle of the light at that time of year. Everything becomes more engaging when it casts a shadow or forms a cool silhouette.
