Just last week my wife and I drove to the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina. I had taken a blacksmithing course two years ago and a painting course last year. This year I decided to just go plein air painting instead of taking a class since the area haas so many nice features -- mountains, creeks and wooded landscapes. While my wife was quilting with her class, I headed out to Fire's Creek, near Hayesville, North Carolina not far from the school. On the road to the parking area I noticed the "Bear Sanctuary" sign -- which I had not anticipated. However, there were no bears around to disturb me while I painted, only the sound of the waterfall and of rushing water. At the location was a waterfall and a bridge over the creek. These are both 6" X 8" oil paintings done on two days in about an hour and a half.

The rocks out east are so different from what we see here in the midwest--you captured that in these little paintings. And, I can hear the water.
both are very fine paintings slim,
what an amazing place to paint...how could you have heard the bear coming standing next to a loud waterfal?
Thanks, Rob --- Believe me, my head was going 360 degrees while painting. Steve
