"October's Best At Cable Mill" In Cades Cove

“October’s Best at Cable Mill” in Cades Cove by Steve Norris This painting of Cable Mill in Cades Cove shows the gristmill as it looks today with the maples, buckeyes and dogwoods in full autumn bloom. The variety of tree colors around the mill can be compared to the colors of a Smoky Mountain rainbow. The trees and foliage as shown here are accurate and reveal autumn's glory at the height of October's grand leaf changes. Steve actually used water from the mill to finish this acrylic painting. This mill was built about 1870 by John P. Cable. His son, James V. Cable, operated the mill well into the twentieth century. Today the Great Smoky Mountains Natural History Association operates it as an historical exhibit. Available in 24"x36" and smaller
