Union County Pasture, NC (sold)

5x7,

oil on canvas panel

I often paint in Union County, NC, because I enjoy rural landscape scenes. Union county is the fastest growing county in NC, and I believe, the 4th fastest growing county in the nation. I wonder how long it will be before there are few rural scenes to paint.

Most of my adult life was spent in Marietta, GA, in Cobb county which, in the 80's, was the fastest growing county in the nation. I taught high school art in an excellent independent school, and it grew by leaps and bounds during that time. M-m-m, I wonder if there is a pattern here.
