Island Dream at High Country


This is a painting I have at High Country Art and Antiques in Blue Ridge, GA. Blue Ridge is a great little North Georgia mountain town with lots of great shops and restaurants, an old train depot, a cultural arts center and Blue Ridge Lake and the Toccoa River nearby. It's a great day trip or weekend getaway from Atlanta. And High Country is a fantastic gallery with great artists, pottery, jewelry and antiques. The gallery alone is worth the trip.

Inman Park Festival


I had a booth at the Inman Park Festival this past weekend. Saturday was literally a washout, but Sunday was a great day with beautiful weather. I sold three paintings including this one from my "Views from the Road" series. This was painted from a photo I took at the Barrett Parkway exit off I-575 when wildflowers were in bloom. We can sometimes miss something beautiful on our "way to the mall" is we don't keep our eyes open for one of those unexpected little pleasures in life.
