I finished the fourth in this series from my Fall photo shoot in the Cherokee National Forest. This one was gruelling! I kept getting lost in the rocks in the foreground and it was a stop and start production as I worked on a couple of portrait comissions in the process. It seemed to take forever. Did you notice the rope swing hanging from the tree in the center of the painting? The kids have a great time here in the warm weather, launching into the deep pool from the rocky ledges to the right. On the left side you can see the grassy area, which is a camp site that many of my friends here in Tennessee have enjoyed for years. They call this place the "Submarine Bridge" at the head of the Citico Creek. I was standing on the bridge when I took this picture.
