Mason Mill Park

Mason Mill is just off Hollins Road in Roanoke. Creek scenes (both tranquil and rocky), a small dam and pond, and a mill. It's drive up and paint (DUAP) but no restrooms. If you walk across the road there are smooth-water scenes of curving Tinker Creek with great shadows.


The video--sorry about the water spots on the lens!--was done in late September from location A on the map below. The photo and painting (not plein aire) is at location B.


 
Directions: Take Orange Ave east from 581, go left onto Hollins and then right on Mason Mill Road, straight through a four-way stop, and it's on your left.

Happy painting!  Bill
