"Greenbrier Peaceful Flow," Plein Air acrylic on canvas, 16x20 — This plein air was done during our summer campground visit in "Almost Heaven" West Virginia.

"West Virginia Mountain Waves," Acrylic on canvas, 16x20 — Waves in West Virginia? Well, that's what I saw from atop one of those waves in Pipestem State Park. You can see where that "Almost Heaven" comes from!
