"Morning In The Laurel Highlands" ...

A lush forest scene in the Laurel Highlands of Central Pennsylvania showcases tall trees with vibrant green foliage under a bright blue sky. Morning sunlight filters through the branches, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

A view of the distant mountains from the top of Blue Knob All Seasons Resort in full spring is a fine sight to wake up to. Grab your coffee and pull up a chair ... let's enjoy this magical moment as we gaze out over the ski slopes covered in greens and golds instead of their winter coating of frosty white snow.

Loosely based on my own photo and digitally hand painted in Corel Painter 2023 using the Wacom tablet and art pen stylus. No artificial intelligence programs used. Fine art as well as product purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... your wall art will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."

"Room With A View" ... A favorite of mine taken on top of #BlueKnob mountain several years back. The part I like is the feeling of early, early springtime! We're nearly through February, and that means spring is on it's way!!!

A quaint little shack sits alone and forlorn on top of Blue Knob Mountain, All Season's Resort, in Claysburg, PA.

Seen on a quiet spring day, you would think the true view here at the top of Blue Knob Mountain in Claysburg, Pennsylvania, would be just at the rim of the hill the shack is perched upon. And that is the view we normally can't wait to visit. It's breathtaking ... the rolling hills of the Laurel Highlands ripple out in front of us like waves upon the sea. But on this day .. the quiet light, the trees just beginning to leaf out, the clouds ... and most fun, the golden dandelions at our feet, beg us to take a extra moment or two to enjoy the simplicity of the wooden ski-shack itself.

It'll take a couple of seasons, but soon it will no longer be forlorn. As soon as snow flies, the skiers will return ... and it will see its share of fun again.

"The Little Cabin In The Snow" ...

I captured this charming wintery scene on top of Blue Knob Mountain in December of 2012. The little cabin is currently a utility shed / barn for the resort, Blue Knob All Seasons Resort, and stands at the very top of our 3,000+ ft high mountain, the second highest elevation in the Allegheny Mountains.

The little cabin is currently a utility shed / barn for the resort, Blue Knob All Seasons Resort, and stands at the very top of our 3,000+ ft high mountain, the second highest elevation in the Allegheny Mountains. To the left and behind me are the ski lift machines and lots of happy skiers and snowboarders. We call days like this when the temperatures are moderated a bit and the snow conditions are perfect a Blue Bird Day ... and with the skies the color of sapphires, you can surely understand why.

Jack Rabbit slope at Blue Knob All Seasons Resort was once called Bunny Hop. But because the word "Bunny" gives people the idea that this is a beginner's trail, the name was changed. As you can see from this view, the slope looks gentle and easy. As I stand on my deck, sipping my cocoa and watching the newbies happily gliding past in their determined pizza-wedges, I shake my head and say a little prayer. Just out of camera range the slope changes dramatically. A sharp downward drop and wicked quick right turn and ... you'd better get ready!!!

A towering oak, dressed in her autumn golds, glows in the sunlight of a brilliant October afternoon.

Most autumns come with much expectation and high hopes for those few glorious golden days that the season is loved for. Sadly, most years fall short of the promise … because of rain, wind at the wrong time, or a too dry or too wet summer. But when all the conditions fall into place just right, the results can be breathtaking. The autumn of 2022 was one of those rare jewels … and I was in the right place at the right time to capture the beauty … and have the fun of digitally hand-painting the image in Corel Painter in a soft and glowing impressionistic and expressionistic style.

After a frigid, snowy night on top of Blue Knob Mountain … a walk along the path from the cabin will bring you to a world that you've never seen … and may never see again. The golden glow of the morning sun as she sifts through the frigid frosty air contrasts against the glowing blues of the ice-coated grasses and leaves. All working together to create an instant of magic … something only you see … and that you'll never forget. Blink, and it'll be gone.

Btw, this is one of those crazy things I did completely from my imagination, hand-painted, digitally, in #CorelPainter ... no photos were harmed, and no Ai programs were used 😁. It's an imagined vision of the little road that leads up from our cabin at #BlueKnob in Central #Pa (#LaurelHighlands) to the main road to the lodge.

An old wooden fence cuts across a field of wildflowers on top of Blue Knob Mountain, a part of the Laurel Highlands of the Appalachians, just as the sun begins to set on a glorious spring evening. Above the distant mountain range which has caught the changing color in the hazy air a layer of curly clouds transform from soft whites to peaches and roses and blues.

"The magic of Blue Knob" is an expression my husband and his friends have used for many years. It usually refers to skiing conditions and unexpected snow storms but to me it also means the brilliance of autumn or the sweet softness of spring.

Blue Knob All Seasons Resort is located in Central Pennsylvania and includes skiing and snow boarding in winter and golfing and hiking in spring, summer and fall.

The day is dark and gray … the trees are "heavy laden" with the snow … bending and leaning toward the white ground.

A glimpse into a brief moment in time ... the snow is still falling but in the distance, can a glimmer of brighter light be seen? Is the storm finally ending?

"Black Bear In Autumn". A majestic creature, the American Black Bear … also known as Ursus Americanus … strolls out of the forest, stops, sits and gazes around his kingdom.

A majestic creature, the American Black Bear … also known as Ursus Americanus … strolls out of the forest, stops, sits and gazes around his kingdom. Clearly the king of the forest, he must know how beautiful, how magnificent he is. The glow of the autumn leaves and light from the setting sun turning his coat from black to warm brown. His walk on all fours is a rolling lumbering gait, the late afternoon sun catching his gleaming coat in shining waves. Though the location, the deep forests surrounding Blue Knob All Seasons Resort on top of Blue Knob Mountain, is his home, he is shy and seldom seen. It was a rare gift to find him and capture his image.

Image sketched and painted by hand, digitally, using one of my own photos as a starting point for the sketch and colors in Corel Painter, a Wacom tablet, the art pen stylus and a wide variety of beautiful digital brushes. The photo on which this is based was taken with my Nikon D300 and the Sigma 150-500mm lens in June of 2011.

It's a perfect winter day, the sunshine is sparkling on the snowy trees and slopes and the air is crystal clear. Exactly the kind of day that makes you hurry to strap on your skis or snow board … eager to take the first run down the slopes and through the glades. Whether you're at Blue Knob All Seasons Resort in Claysburg, PA or the slopes at Aspen or Killington or Zermatt … when the conditions are right … you can fly!
