The Great Smoky Mountains!

"The Great Smokies, View From On High," another in my 52 for $52 series, was painted a few days after Dennis and I returned from our anniversary trip to the Smokies. We have been married for a sweet 38 years as of this December 29. This was the view from our cabin, which was situated high on the very top of a mountain in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. We enjoyed the real wood fireplace, hot chocolate, movies, and feeding the raccoons! They came in a group of 4 hungry little critters who gently grasped with their little raccoon hands a Dorito out of Dennis's hand! I loved photographing them and watching them!

Watch for more in this "Smokies Series!"

Have a GREAT CHRISTMAS with your loved ones!

See you next week, Donna

	Happy Anniversary! Your description of your anniversary getaway reminds me of vacationing as a child with my family at Lost River State Park in West Virginia - log cabins, wood fireplaces, kerosene lanterns plus plenty of raccoons! Great painting and adorable photo of Dennis and new friends!

	This is beautiful, Donna. I love how you captured the depth in this. And the little raccoons are just so adorable & the guy feeding them isn't too shabby either.. ha! A very, very happy anniversary to you both. May you have another 38 years!!!!

	Donna, Merry Christmas to you, too. Your paintings are beautiful. You always use such soft colors that make you wish you were there to experience the beauty first hand, even in the snow...brrr. I look forward to next weeks painting. That is quite a commitment to do one a week. Judy

	Oh! It is like being there in the mountains. My brother has a home in Tennessee overlooking the mountains. Good work, Donna. Kat

	Here comes my comment as requested. The painting reminds me of the drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

	I hope you have whatever problem there is with your site cleared up. As a whole I like your site. Yours was the one I showed Tom when he and I began working on a blog for me.

	Donna, this painting of the Great Smoky Mountains is great! What a fantastic view from your cabin. You have captured the beauty of these mountains in such a way that we all want to go there on our next vacation. :) The painting has that soft, impressionistic, look that I like. I love the different shades of "smoky" blue that you used. Very, very, nice.
