Autumn Path

Autumn Path

Autumn Path , an oil painting on cotton canvas measuring 18 x 24 inches, was completed in the autumn of 2013, with acid free prints released a few months later.
The winding narrow roads of the Blue Ridge Parkway are always so beautiful during the autumn. The parkway is one of America’s favorite drives overlooking the breathtaking scenery of the Virginia mountains. It was part of the New Deal in 1935, after the Great Depression, to build the parkway to put some Americans back to work. The Virginia mountains have more than 130 species of trees, giving the brilliant fall colors. Not only will you see the colorful foliage, but also the lush green pastures and valleys below. Driving the Blue Ridge Parkway, furthermore, is a great way to experience Virginia’s southern hospitality with crafts, music, fantastic trails for hiking and biking. It also offers great outdoor activities, such as snow skiing, fishing, bird watching, and horseback riding. In my painting I captured the beautiful colors in the foliage and the sense of peace you experience during your amazing ride of Virginia’s winding narrow roads.
