Magic Knoxville I always want to knowFor over twenty years, my painting career has been based on my personal belief that there is beauty in the "everyday" around each of us. It's just a matter of timing. That conviction was borne out again when I caught this moment in my residential neighborhood following an evening walk. I pass through this area several times a week, but at the right time of day and with a gorgeous sky, it was totally transformed into something magical.
