The Mount Gretna series was part of an endeavor that began in college and spanned sporadically from 2000 through 2020. This is a very small collection of selected paintings that are of the Chautauqua and Camp Meeting areas. While many artists gather here to paint the cottages, I wanted to approach Gretna from a different perspective—capturing more secluded and intimate areas of this historical place. In some of the paintings I specifically studied the relationship of man made items and how they interacted with nature to form balance, mystery & magic. All paintings done in watercolors.
