Description
This painting of the pathway around the lake at Fairy Stone State Park seemed to almost paint itself. It was one of those clear bright autumn days with just a little bit of a breeze. Fall is a great time to visit our state parks here in Virginia.
"Fairy Stone State Park, located in Patrick County, Virginia, is the largest of the original six state parks that opened on June 15, 1936, and is home to the mysterious "fairy stones", or Staurolite. The park's cross-shaped, namesake stone is prevalent in the region, which also features beautiful scenery, rich history and ample recreational opportunities. The park's land was donated in 1933 by Junius B. Fishburn, former president of the Southwest Virginia Trust Co. and former owner of the Roanoke Times. The park is 4,868 acres (19.70 km2), making it the largest of the six original parks and one of the largest to this day. The park, its lake and many structures still in use were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps." (quoted from Wikipedia, October 25, 2014)

Ah,,,your description speaks to the process of co-creativity with The Flow of Inspiration! I love those treasured painting moments of “no-time” where one holds the brush and it effortlessly glides into a finished work which both delights and Amazes...me! And, I know I held the brush and consented...to Beauty. This is such a piece! BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL, Bonnie L/F!
