New Beginnings by Mark Keathley

New Beginnings is only available in one size, that being a 12x48.  This is a perfect size for those hard to fit areas like over a fireplace, over a King bed, or a wide fireplace.  With only 15 artist proofs and 95 numbered S/N edition, this is a very rare image and sure to become very difficult to acquire.

Little Angels by Mark Keathley
One is struck by the contrast between the time-weathered stones of this estate garden and the new life of this little butterfly. The children don’t notice the age of the place but they are a part of the moment, enjoying it now as this tiny winged creature flutters into their presence. A few seconds will pass, and they will be caught up in something else, possible pretending they are in heaven visiting with an angel, or maybe walking in circles around the stonewall.

Closed for the Holidays by Mark Keathley This Fall, as I was traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway, I encountered this picturesque old mill.  It was built in 1903 and I enjoyed thinking about how the settlers over 100 years ago had to work so hard just to get simple pleasures like hot cornbread with their meals.  With the Holidays approaching, the long days of working at Mabry's Mill have come to an end and the business of celebration has arrived. May you, too, find rest from your work, time to rejoice, and abundance of love for those gathered around you this holiday season.

Smoky Morning by Mark Keathley

 

The atmosphere creates mood and drama in the world around us. It brings a softness to the landscape which simplifies the chaos and quiets the sounds. Sometimes it makes the light shining through take on different colors as the light reflects through it. We have an atmosphere in ourselves. When you walk into a room, you bring with you a glow of light which reflects peace and calm or thunder and lightning, and many other metaphorical possibilities. Sometimes, however, something will sneak into our surroundings which stands out and surprises the soul. A bolt of lightning can strike, and we are terrified, or a cool breeze can blow over the sweat on our shoulders, and we are comforted. 

One day while out painting a river scene in the mountains, this train just appeared right up close behind me.  I had been looking the other way at my landscape setting, while it was coasting downhill - not wasn’t making enough noise to break through the heavy mist that was encompassing the landscape. It was a grand moment, which I only captured with my camera, but determined to recreate it for you in this grand setting from the Smoky Mountains. The smoke from the stack, the steam from the boiler, and the fog all around came together in a magical atmosphere and the first in a series of train paintings - Smoky Morning.

Texas Highway by Mark Keathley The expanding frontier across Texas moved slowly west as new forts were built to protect settlers. This area was notorious for bandits, Indians, and rough terrain. The stagecoach was still a favorite for traveling west and delivering mail to the farther outposts and settlements of even more western states. The young nation called Texas was a huge area and people and their mail needed to cross the vast land. The History of the stage coach era is a glorious tale of rock houses built as "Stage Stops" and the handsome and durable hand made stage coaches that carried a new type of independent person. There were a lot of different stage companies, and I chose to paint one that operated out of Austin and traveled through the hill country region where they often traveled on river beds because of the flat limestone "pavement" they provided. At this moment, there is peace and calm as the light of the moon and the lanterns highlight the clomping splash of the horses hooves as they gently pull the stage through the Guadalupe River canyon on what we are calling the Texas Highway.
