| "Mountain Memories" 11x14" acrylic on canvas (C) Cara Bevan 2008 |
| My first landscape painting. It’s titled “Mountain Memories.” I was scared to paint it at first, but once the trees came into detail I couldn’t get enough! The scene I painted was from the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC. I took a reference photo from the back porch of the log house I stayed in and I fell in love with the serenity of the morning. Most of my best landscape photographs came from the Folk School’s 390+ acres. I went there for three weeks in November of 2006 and I consider those to be the best three weeks of my life…it was paradise! There is hardly anything in Brasstown besides the school and some local stores. It is a few miles from Murphy and very desolate - that leaves room for nature and the true peace that you can only get in the mountains. The entire school is made as in olden times and their motto is “sing behind the plow.” It is from those mountain lands that I found myself and the true potential of my abilities. I was 18 when I went there the first time and I have been longing to go back ever since. Even a simple visit there can create, or evoke, the best of mountain memories. |
