Lake Mattamuskeet


This morning I thought I thought I would share with you a painting I did of Lake Mattamuskeet which is located in Hyde Country, N.C. This lake is 7 miles wide and 21 miles long. Rumor has it that the lake was formed by the Mattamuskeet indians burning the ground out. Another rumor is that in the 30's as part of the WPA system, it was drained to permit crops to be planted. Eventually it was filled up again. It is so calm, so peaceful, one feels endless serenity while sitting along side it. May this painting give you peace and serenity if only for just a moment. Thanks for tuning in.
