General Paintings Gallery

This gallery is a variety of paintings I have done over the years. Many of my older paintings were done using watercolors.   Most of the more recent paintings are done using acrylics.
30x40 painting of the Chimney Tops trail in Gatlinburg, TN

Chimney Tops Trail

The Chimney Tops trail is said to be one of the most strenuous treks in the Great Smokey Mountains with altitude gains of 1,400 feet in about 2 miles.  The trail offers stunning views even though the summit is no longer accessible.  The beginning of the trail is where I took the reference photo for this painting.  Located just below the parking area, this is the first of three water crossings in the trail.

Horses at Cades Cove watercolor

Cades Cove in the Smokie Mountains near Gatlinburg, TN is a beautiful place to not only see an abundance of wildlife, you also get to travel back in time looking at all the barns, homes, grist mill and churches from years ago.  You can drive or bike the 10 mile loop, or you can choose to do a horse ride through the cove.  I captured this image at the end of the day as the horses were let out to open pasture for the evening.
