Cherokee Garden by BJ Wright

8"x10" oil on RayMar panel, painted en plein air, alla prima, on August 1st while early fog obscured the mountain and nearby meadow. This small garden is part of the replica Cherokee village at Red Clay State Park near Cleveland, TN. Its vegetables are the "three sisters" - corn, beans and squash. Sunflowers were an added treasure. Purchase this original painting for $85 including shipping.

The fog was heavy and started lifting fast...so I painted fast, too. It was one of those times when a painting kind of - you know - paints itself.
