Our Endless Mountains are so beautiful. How many of you find it difficult to stay focused when driving on our roads around the area? There isn't a bend in the road, on any given day, that I don't appreciate some scene that could have easily been pulled from an Impressionist painting. There are times I actually appreciate being stopped on the road due to construction so that I can just look around. Keystone Mountain Park is one of those places you drive by all the time, but you never really get to enjoy. Last Wednesday we were blessed with perfect light and refreshing air for painting. I do forget who suggested this place to paint and I thank you - I think. We all fell in love with the quaint old stone building next to the lake. However...even if you understood two point perspective the challenge of this building's roof line was almost overwhelming. Did that deter us from attempting the almost impossible? Not in your life. I took enough pictures to do four paintings - truly scenes to capture again and again. I will say most of us are not in any rush to do another building. So the next time you are stopped on the road be sure and check out the scenery and let us know if you have found another perfect place to paint.
