Smoky Mountain Pochades

Smoky Mountain Treeline, 9"x7", Oil on panel

Smoky Mountain Sunrise, 10"x12", Oil on panel

A couple of sketches from a backpacking trip into the mountains on the Appalachian Trail. Both done sitting in the tent while sipping morning coffee. Because at the end of day all I wanted to do, was to get into that sleeping bag. It was a physical challenging hike, but what a great trip.
Enjoy Jim

  2. Hi Rahina,
    Thanks so much for your comment.
    And yes I seem to do better with more wintry looking trees. Some of my recent plein airs have been real dogs.
    Maybe I need a little more structure for to zero in on.
