SHELTOWEE SERIES

Sheltowee Trace trail in Red River Gorge in Kentucky, from photos I took last Spring.

This is my first series, and my last paintings of 2018, indeed, my last of Kentucky for some time.

I intend to spend my 2019 creating art depicting scenes from the western part of these United States.

 

It's a lovely place. Enjoy.
