A series - five 12x9 W/C paintings of some of the buildings in Asheville,NC

The first one in this series is the Flatiron building in downtown Asheville. Just across the street is the bistro on Heywood Ave. The third one is of the Gove Arcade building at the Carmel's bar.

The painting below is from the Thomas Wolf parking lot, with a view of the Basilica of Saint Lawrence Church.

The fifth, painting is of one of the buildings at Pack Square, The Posana restaurant and the patio, which is across the way from the Asheville Art Museum.
