With that job, he says, \u201cI honed my drafting skills and became friends with the clowns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Retirement to Western North Carolina offered views irresistible to a landscape painter and Henry immersed himself in capturing the majesty. \u201cMany of these locations are quickly disappearing, or being irreparably damaged due to the tremendous influx of people moving to the mountains,\u201d he says. \u201cThe scope of my work ranges from broad landscapes to intricately detailed interior scenes.

Mark Henry, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Henry is active with the regional group P.A.P.A. (Preserving a Picturesque America), whose artist members seek to capture the same WNC sites depicted in a two-volume book titled Picturesque America and published in the 1870s. Just as the original publication is credited with preservation of natural lands and historic places in the country, P.A.P.A. seeks to continue to bring awareness to stewardship and preservation.<\/p>\n<p>The group\u2019s mission fits well with Henry\u2019s own drive to paint the landscapes of WNC. \u201cOne of my more recent inspirations came while hiking with my friend Scott Varn, who is the founder and driving force behind P.A.P.A.,\u201d Henry says. \u201cWe came to the top of Hickory Gap Falls. The view was truly awe-inspiring, and I knew I had to paint it. Shortly after completing the work, I ran into a park ranger who was admiring the piece at an art show. He told me that he was the one who had actually designed that very path on the trail through the woods so many years ago. A small world, indeed. My biggest thrill is to have people say that they have been at that exact location, and that I have captured it perfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Find Mars Landing Galleries at MarsLandingGalleries.com.
