Had a fine, hot time painting in Marshall, NC with the Asheville Plein Air Painters. Marshall was devastated from Hurricane Helene, but there are hopeful signs of recovery. But how can they NOT have a permanent Post Office? Geez. Where's the $$$$, Don? Across from On Your Bike, I spotted this fine VFW mural & gave it a go. Complex, patriotic & optimistic it was. It's a WIP 8 X 10" oil.
