Yeah that Greenville

I have been exploring Greenville, looking for subject matter for paintings, and it seems the most obvious thing to paint is the falls in downtown Greenville. The Reedy River flows right through the city, and it’s a huge tourist attraction, it’s so unusual.

It’s been a real challenge to capture the rocks, water, and in the painting on the left, above, the building. I usually paint organic forms, and they are pretty forgiving. But this was like painting a portrait, where the subject matter needs to be conveyed in a way that is recognizable. And straight lines are HARD!
