Chapel in the Woods...Palette Knife Painting by Peg Whitacre

Here in East Tennessee tiny country churches abound.  This particular painting is based on a small church located in the Cades Cove area of Smoky Mountains National Park.  These churches are a familiar haunt of tourists, photographers and artists.  Picturesque surroundings and the ability to walk through them makes these very popular places to visit.  I chose to use this one in a palette knife painting because of its rugged surroundings.  Surely the people who inhabited this valley were a sturdy  group and many of their buildings still stand.  This painting is 9x12 in size and is available for $95 directly from the artist....pwhitacre@att.net or 865-932-6729.
