This is the river I visit every year to paint. It is the Greenbriar Branch of the Little Pigeon River in Tennessee. A group of 15 or so painters gather each year to spend a week painting the beauty of the mountains. We stay at the Buckhorn Inn outside of Gatlinburg. The inn is located on a mountain side away from all city noise and distractions. It is an idyllic week. This spot on the river is a favorite place to paint because you can set up your easel on the flat rocks in the middle of the river and paint with the sound of the water rushing down the mountain all around you. I hope I have conveyed some measure of the beauty of this place to you. This is an oil painting, size 8" x 10".

While, I am indeed getting old and my vision failing- I do not see the painting. I'm sure it's a beauty. I'll be back w;hen it's up.
I told you that I would be back! There are so many areas that I like. The backlighting creates a nice mood. The birds and the cascading water give a quiet sense of movement. This painting was worth the wait!!
That is beautiful!
