"NC Landscapes: From the Mountains to the Coast" exhibit at the Baydsen Gallery

The art exhibit, "North Carolina Landscapes: From the Mountains to the Coast", is currently on display in the Baydsen Gallery at the Council for the Arts. The exhibit opened Monday, January 7th, and will run through the 31st.

The exhibit is made up of works by local artists who were invited to share their works of our beautiful state. I was very fortunate to have four oil paintings accepted... all mountain works... I may live of the coast but the Blue Ridge mountains sing a special song to my heart.

"Blue Ridge Splendor"... 20x30" Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11-2007, $500.

The quilt is a symbol of comfort and family... Barns are symbols of our heritage and community... together they make a great art project and visual treat for the folks in Ashe County, NC. This old barn scene is set in Ashe County where the local arts council there had various artists and art school classes design and paint these quilt patterns and had them affixed to barns throughout the county as a visual treat.
