Yesterday after church my family and I stopped by Hot Cakes at Barracks Road Shopping Center for lunch.  While waiting for our meals to be prepared, I couldn’t help but notice the beautiful and very familiar images hanging on the wall.

After a few seconds, it dawned on us that paintings on display were the work of Malcolm Hughes, a local North Garden artist who captures the tranquility and mystery of the Albemarle County countryside is such a magnificent and touching manner.  Several of painting were created during some of Malcolm’s visits to Bundoran Farm.  If you look closely at one painting, “Evening Air” (see below) , you will notice the likeness of Casey Williams, former and much beloved Bundoran Farm team member, who volunteered to model for Malcolm.

I have always thought that one mark of a beautiful place is when talented artist come out a paint what they see.  Thanks to Malcolm for capturing the character of Bundoran Farm in oils.
