Portofino Trail No. 1
11 x 14" oil on linen panel

A portion of a new community’s trail system is being incorporated into North Carolina’s Mountains-to Sea Trail system. Portofino is a newly developed gated community about five miles east of Clayton, NC. I was invited to participate in a paint-out there on Saturday. The luxurious Equestrian community offers a plethora of opportunities for plein air painting. Participating artists in two separately scheduled paint-outs are being asked to focus on the trails in the community in support of the “Mountains-to-Sea-Trail Celebration and Art Benefit” that will take place at the development’s Equestrian Center on October 18.
Following are two other trails I painted there on Saturday.
