Yesterday, Michael and I hiked this trail to the falls, where I quickly sketched in my travel journal. We jogged down as much of the trail as possible in order to get back to the cabin to leave for a family fun day at Dollywood. At least 10 spots along the way BEGGED to be painted, and I simply did not have the luxury of time. So, when Tyler and Hannah mentioned a sunrise hike for this morning - I joined them with my paint gear! What an absolute joy it is to spend the early morning hours along the Rainbow Falls trail! Tiffany and Alan stopped by on their way up and I was able to finish two paintings before Tyler and Hannah returned. It FEELS SO GOOD to paint waterfalls in this Smoky Mountain National Park in oils! A trip is not complete if I don't paint the landscape in oils. Painting number 5128 in 5128 days.
