First Snow
The mountain town of Buena Vista, Virginia, the viewer would be standing up street from its main cross streets, Magnolia Ave. and 21st Street. It’s a community of working class folks; friendly and unpretentious. Down the block is the railroad tracks and beyond that is the levee between town and the Maury River. Further on, the wooded rise is park land where deer browse year around; unconcerned about the town folk who return the favor. I live here and enjoy the pace. The first snow is usually a wet one that hangs in the trees and gets removed late. In the damp mid-morning air it creates its own fog and mood as street lights still burn,

You know what I find amazing about this piece? The “slush” looks exactly as it should.. it looks like real slush. Now.. how DID you do that?? Great piece and perfect timing..

Beautiful work. One of my roomates in college (UVa 30 years ago) was from Buena Vista. I remember that it was pronounced “Boona Vista.” His name was Randall but i don’t recall last name. I grew up in northern Virginia but then left for Wyoming and have been here ever since. Your painting are lovely.

Well, I was born and raised in BV, and I have to say, I’ve never heard it called “Boona Vista”, lol. Non-locals would usually pronouce it “Bwaana Veesta” which always sounded so much better than Buuuna Vista, lol. I remember this building b/c it use to have a High’s Ice Cream Store . They had single, double and triple ice cream cones…..a child’s heaven!! I have loved going through your portfolio, Tom, and look forward to more!! :)Karen
