Anna Ruby Falls is in the North Georgia mountains near the town

of Helen.  It was one of the first places we visited when we first

moved to the Atlanta area in  1967.   In 1980, we returned to

Atlanta and the area became, and still remains, one of our

favorite 'get away' spots.  During our trips to the falls, one

country store always beckons us to stop--Fred's Famous

Peanuts.  "Open" was painted because of the joy we always feel

when we stop for a soft drink and a bag of peanuts, and to

remind us that the same enjoyments awaits us when we make

the next trip.

OPEN is a watercolor, painted on 15" x 11"  300# cold press

paper.  The original is part of a private collection and

not for sale.  We do have giclee prints available.
