The Cove is an impressionist oil painting that celebrates the beauty of spontaneous creation at The Cove in Farragut, Tennessee. Painted in a single, intuitive session, outdoors with an audience this original artwork captures the peaceful and longing energy of the enchanting view of the morning sunrise over where the Turkey Creek Shoals meets Fort Loudon Lake.

Painting En Plein Air
En plein air, French for “in the open air,” is the practice of painting outdoors, directly immersed in the landscape. Each brushstroke responds to shifting light, fleeting color, and the living atmosphere, capturing a moment that can never be repeated. Popularized by the Impressionists, this method infuses every work with the immediacy and authenticity of being created in nature itself.
Capturing a Moment in Time
My plein air paintings are extremely unique as they change per the mood of the day, the energy of the air, and the spirit of the world around me.
