I am especially pleased with the complicated system of color, the intense brushwork, and the overall mood of this painting.
The Star City
Another
great Blue Ridge Mountain locale is Roanoke city which is near The Blue
Ridge Parkway. It is also known as The Star City.
It
was originally called Big Lick and was established in 1852 and
chartered in 1874. It was called Big Lick due to the salt which drew
wildlife to the site near the Roanoke River.
The name Roanoke is said
to have originated from an Algonquian work for shell money. This was
also the name of the river that bisected it and the county. The river
is probably where the shells came from.
I got this information from Wikopedia and my husband, Clyde Kessler.

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler
Again,
before I print this comment my husband made about people I want to
emphasize that he is well-liked by all that come into contact with him
and is the most diplomatic person I have ever known.
He is quite a
contradiction - a very sweet curmudgeon!
Sometimes
I am in awe of all we can do. Computers, airplanes, spacecraft,etc.
My husband is not as impressed with our accomplishments because of all
the problems technology has created for this limited spaceship.
The other day I said to him that ants don't have computers. His response was, if they did, they wouldn't tell us.
Then I said we can fly but we don't have wings. He said there are so many people filled with hot air that they could probably get anywhere they wanted to go without an airplane.
Life with a curmudgeon! Lots of fun!
