Creekside Morning Reflections

The inspiration was the beautiful display of sunshine splashing back to the little log in the creek and the serenity such a place provided for reflecting as I listened to the rippling sounds of water flowing over the rocks.

Painting en plein air with the Wayside Painters at Frank Bragg's Farm in the historic preserve of McAuley Road Farmland. There was much to behold during the visit and this creek was just the beginning of many en plein air outings in the future. I am very glad land is being dedicated and preserved in this way. The Bragg family is truly blessed to be able to enjoy and live there.

Of Note

The McAuley Road Farmland represents the best preserved and most intact rural/agricultural landscape in Mecklenburg County. With the phenomenal growth of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County during the 20th Century, the McAuley Road Farmland is the last large area of the county that accurately depicts for the public, the once dominant late 19th century and early 20th agricultural character of Mecklenburg County.
