Recent Tennesse Paintings

Every July my family and I head up to East Tennessee to visit relatives and spend a week at the Wright's farm on the Cumberland Plateau. In recent years I've been bringing my paint box with me and have realized that I tend to do more "work" while on "vacation," as my kids are happily running wild & free, my husband is busy catching up on naps, and my amazing mother-in-law is spoiling us rotten with home cooked meals made from ingredients fresh out of her garden! 
The weather was hot, the sweat bees were out and EVERYTHING was as green as could be- which actually made landscape painting a little tricky! Fortunately, I love a good challenge.
