"Clouds Over Cook's Wall"

 

 Oil on linen on panel, 6 x 8 inches, $150

This view of Cook's Wall is from a spot in Germanton, NC. From this vantage point Hanging Rock can be seen in the distance, too. But it is much further to the right and so I didn't include it in the composition.

My painting buddies and I were sitting in a field of tall grass that was literally filled with grasshoppers. You can see a couple of them on my backpack, in the photo below. Cute little critters... who really know how to bite!
