I slept with the windows open at the foot of Papaw Jim’s mountain. The babbling brook lulled me to sleep; and to the crisp Appalachian air of late November I gently awoke. The light streamed in across the quilt, hand-stitched by my great aunt Joyce. It was Thanksgiving morning in the holler known as Dry Fork.
That day I explored, sketched, took pictures researched my Virginia family heritage, wrote down recipes and learned to make biscuits. Some years later, amid the covid-19 global pandemic, I began a series of paintings. Locked down at home in Alabama on Easter morning 2020, I returned to my memory of that Thanksgiving and painted Morning in Dry Fork.
