The Orchard

oil on canvas

For artist Bob Francisco, the American Mountain Southland serves as the primary source of inspiration. He uses a layering process that allows him to depict intricate color and detail. His reverence for the land is evident in this process and in the way he portrays his subject. Click on the image for a closer look.

Frost Bitten

Frost Bitten
Bob Francisco

I feel it is only right to blog about Bob Francisco's Frost Bitten. Fall is definitely in the air. Leaves are falling. Scents of fresh fire is around. But most importantly is the weather, here in Georgia we have a one-two month grace period of absolutely beautiful weather, which I love. These elements all come to mind when I reflect on Francisco's piece.
