I befriended Lucy Cara Teague on Facebook a while back. She is a friend of Kelly at the Big Creek Country Store. Lucy is a painter and photographer who takes wonderful pictures of the mountains. Last spring I got the brilliant idea to have Lucy paint a picture of Andy standing on the bridge over Big Creek. I have taken so many photos of him there, looking for fish among the rocks below the bridge. I sent Lucy several of my photos and she used them and her artistic license to create this wonderful image:
She captured just the scene I love and I love the painting.
The blue surround is the cushion on the patio furniture.
It was a surprise for Andy and he was thrilled with it. Now I have to get a frame and put it on the wall.
If you are on Facebook, look up Lucy Cara Teague to see more of her work.
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. That's a painting that speaks.
ReplyDeleteAndy should love it, too, because it's one piece of work inside another. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBig Creek Campground area is my favorite place in the Smokey Mountains so it was with pleasure that I got to paint this and feel that I spent a little time with you and Andy. Hope you enjoy for many years to come.
ReplyDeleteWe are both thrilled with it. I'll post another photo when I get it framed and on the wall. Thank you; and Great Job!
DeleteJust perfect!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
