The Crooked Road Music Trail is a 330-mile driving trail through the mountains of Southwest Virginia and parts of West Virginia and was created to highlight the heritage music of Appalachia. On a memorable camping trip a few years ago, we drove the whole trail, stopping in small towns each evening to listen to "jams" of bluegrass and early folk music played in community halls, town squares, and local churches. This meadow is a stop that we took for lunch along the trail. It is a serene spot where we could immerse ourselves in the tranquility of the Appalachian wilderness.

Experience

I am a multi-disciplinary artist with expertise in a wide variety of mediums. Over the years, my art experience has included mastery of a variety of mediums including oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, and line art. I occasionally work in collage. Currently, I am working on a 50-piece pastel project titled A Love Letter to America. The project consists of one plein air pastel painting done in each of the 50 states using a proprietary technique that I call Ambient Observation.
