TRAIL AT CHARLIE’S BUNION
30” x 40” Original oil painting on canvas
$2,250
Charlie’s Bunion is on the Appalachian Trail in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. A forest fire stripped the mountain of her foliage — exposing the sheer rock. Charlie’s Bunion can be reached by a 4-mile, mostly uphill, heart-thumping, northward hike, from Newfound Gap.
The views are majestic. Always changing. And always a delight to see.
I painted this painting using a pallette knife boldly and just a few delicate brush strokes. I love the way it turned out. I believe Charlie’s feet would be proud. — Larry Smith
