Cold Mountain, watercolor by Jim Michielsen
This is a beautiful watercolor painting I bought in a small town near Asheville, Black Mountain. I fell in love with this painting! The artist is local to NC, Jim Michielsen is his name.
Crab apple trees in bloom.
Biltmore estate: tulips by the lattice.
A very cool gnarly grape vine at Biltmore.
This one captured my heart- its a dancing sprite with a small child. It is so heartwarming!
All along gravel walks at the Biltmore are rock walls with amazing fountains.
Another fountain.
The outside of the Grove Building and a cool lamppost.
We had lunch in an old converted Pharmacy. This is a shot of the counter and ceiling. We ate grilled pimento cheese sandwiches- can't get more Southern than that!!
This is a 3 story fireplace in the lobby of the Crown Plaza, where we stayed while in Asheville. Very nice! Its a golf resort just on the edge of Asheville.
This was just on the sidewalk and I thought is was a cool shot. Great use of a garbage can!
A grape arbor back at Biltmore estate.
More gargoyles at Biltmore
this is a head that is part of a door sill...amazing!
Thinking gargoyle!
