Closed until March….open only on Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM…..if I had to stand out in the weather all day to sell my photographs, I would also be closed until March. Do not allow the exterior to fool you, Sandra is a very good painter who specializes in scenes from around the Smoky Mountains area. We have one of her Cades Cove oil paintings hanging in our living room. We discovered her work in a local restaurant where we were seated under a painting she had given to the owner. We were so impressed that we just had to find her and see what else she had to offer. The hunt took several years since she does not have a web site, is not listed in the Tennessee artist listings, is not in the telephone book, and of course we were doing the search from Ohio which makes it more difficult. We finally found her mother who told us where to find Sandra and we have been steady patrons for many years now.
As I am writing this, it occurs to me that the search we went on is one reason why I have a web presence. I do not want to be hard to find. I do not want you to have to spend a lot of time trying to locate me. If you cannot find me, you cannot see my work, and you cannot purchase anything. Ah, we learn our lessons in the most unique ways.. at least I seem to do it that way.

Steve,
Great image!
A color photograph that tells a story.
I was wondering when you would post again.
Thanks for taking the time to record an image that might have been
overlooked by 55 mph drivers who are in a hurry to get to the next gas station.
See it does work if you just slow down and let the butterfly land on you.

Charles,
I agree, most folks drive past the “art gallery” at about 65 mph and they will never see it. It sits back off of the road and is nestled in a small stand of trees. If you do not know that it is there and are watching for it, you will miss it. I am happy to “share the vision” . I had to wait a long time to capture this scene. The signage keeps changing and the visual arrangement is always different. I was fortunate to be in the area when this arrangement came together.
