Solace and Sorrow

Blue Ridge Parkway Paintings By Dawn Richerson

Natural Bridge: Solace and Sorrow. On the arch they stood surveying all that was growing golden in the fading light of day. The sorrow they had known, the dangers they had faced, still moved in the vicinity, like shadows cast. And yet here they found their solace. Here they made their peace with this life and the land they had come to love. Solace and Sorrow is a Soul of Place painting of Natural Bridge, Virginia, and part of the Natural Persuasion Series of paintings within the Blue Ridge Blessings Collection by Virginia artist Dawn Richerson.
