Mountains - Pilot Mountain, VA


I said that I would share with you the images that we experienced crossing 9 states on our road trip. At the early stage of the trip as we left NC and entered VA, this was a really interesting sight. Pilot Mountain a circular rock just pushing up through the top of the mountain, looking rather like a cork popping out of a bottle. We really had fun discussing the geological ramifications of such a stunning event. Many of you know that I like to work in different media...on this trip, pen and ink and watercolor tended to be most logical to carry about... As a sketching medium, it is versatile, clean, and quick. So here is a 5x7 watercolor (on watercolor board...a quick response to what we saw as it loomed up before us.
