While in NC last month I began several pieces and finished one, a view of Hot Springs. Here are the first fruits, most of them still ripening, of this new chapter in life. Some of these were begun during a visit from my artist friend and architect John Whelan. This continues a painting friendship that stretches back 45 years to Provence, France.
I took John to see a number of sites over this weekend and we managed to paint some scenes at the French Broad River bridge in Hot Springs and at Max Patch. We also went to Paint Rock where some time ago I finished a landscape after several arduous reworkings. I was happy that John enjoyed seeing my version of this scene after we climbed up there together.
