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
