Southern Charmers

I'm a big fan of architecture and even though my taste is modern and minimalist I find a lot of charm in residential Southern houses. The one thing I try to avoid is the "picture of a house" syndrome. As I was taught, I try to concentrate on the light and the contrast that is so typical on the porches of these Victorian homes. The vertical is a house just across the street the other is is a small Victorian farm house that I've admired for years as I drive up to Helen. It's on Hwy 115 half way between 400 and Cleveland. It's been abandoned lately so I stopped to get this little reminder before it falls into disrepair. this makes 20 9x12s done— 80 more to go.

Close to home 7/9

Still hotter than Hades and it looks like it's going to stay that way all summer. I went over to the pond at Sweat Mountain and painted this. It's an old friend, being about half way around on my jogging course—guess I've been around it about 4,000 times. While there, I helped a few sweet young girls pull hooks from brim they caught in the dark green waters.

Hot days of summer

I've been keeping up the pace with at least two paintings each weekend. The heat has been terrible for more than a month now an we have quite a bit of summer to go. I will post some of this work but some may never see the light of day. I had a great day on July 2nd up near Mt. Yonah, doing two nice views. One of the mountain and the other just turning around and painting the view looking down the valley. I think two cars went bye all day.
