Description
Yates Mill, one of the oldest buildings in Wake County, is the region’s only surviving operable gristmill. For nearly 200 years the water-powered mill produced lumber, milled corn and wheat, and carded wool. The land on which the mill is situated was surveyed for Samuel Pearson in October 1756, and granted to him by the Earl of Granville, one of the North Carolina colony’s Lord Proprietors. The original mill was built around at that time. Pearson steadily increased his land holdings, and owned more than 600 acres (2.4 km2) at the time of his death in 1802. In 1819, accumulated debts forced Pearson’s son, Simon, to sell the mill and its surrounding acreage at a sheriff’s auction. William Boylan, a prominent Raleigh businessman and director of the State Bank, bought the property, and over the next 30 years modernized the mill several times, adding a sawmill in the 1840s.(Wikipedia)

I really like movement in the painting David, my eyes bounced all over the painting. Wonderful angles and mix of dark and light!
David Zimmerman replied:
Thanks Christine. I spend a lot of time composing a painting before executing, and then paint it in monochrome-in this case I stained the canvas violet gray and did the drawing in a blue black (more like midnight blue) and white before over painting in color
