Cades Cove Log Cabin Print: Smoky Mountain Fall Colors

Cades Cove in the Great Smoky mountain national park is a peaceful setting with numerous old historic buildings like this log cabin which is nearly 200 years old. I took this picture on a fall morning in late October. This beautiful picture can be ordered in one of four different materials. Those include fine art prints, ready to hang gallery wrapped canvas or ready to hang eye popping acrylic or metal. Each offers exquisite detail and vivid colors. More details on these choices are found at the bottom of this page below my story. You can also see other pictures similar to this one in my store which also features nearly 20 sections listed on the left side of the home page. The Etsy store is found at:

I love taking pictures of some of the most beautiful places on this amazing planet. What was once a hobby has now become my second career and I absolutely love it! I spent most of my work life in the radio broadcasting arena first as a D.J spinning records while still in high school. Slowly I worked my way up the ladder and eventually became the President of a radio company operating radio stations all over the country.
My last 15 years were spent in Colorado and it was there I started taking pictures of the amazing scenery in the Rocky Mountains. I retired early from radio after severe hearing loss came upon me almost overnight. This shattered by ability to enjoy music anymore which was so awful.
We moved back to Nashville where our family lived. Not knowing what I would do next (I knew I could not return to radio anymore due to my hearing loss). One day some friends saw a few of my mountain pictures in our home and they said……”this stuff is good……people would buy these”. I didn’t believe them at first but I kept hearing it from other friends.
We were planning a summer trip with family heading back out to Colorado for a week. Without telling anyone, I decided to bring a couple canvas pictures on the trip. We were headed to Breckenridge so I brought a few pictures I took there a year earlier.
One morning with almost zero confidence and a fear of being rejected, I walked to Main street with a few of my canvas pictures. To my amazement the first gift store said “Yes, these are good….our customers will love these”. They ordered 6 pictures which totaled less than $400, but to me it was like I hit the jackpot. I was so excited which is a little funny because in my radio career I mentioned 8 figure budgets. I couldn’t wait to share the news with my family.
WOW!!!!! I was on top of the world and a new career was born.
Today my landscape pictures are carried in many galleries, design centers and furniture stores. My passion to capture incredible pictures of the most beautiful places on earth is inspired by a few verses from the Bible some of which include;

THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD, THE SKIES PROCLAIM THE WORK OF HIS HANDS. Psalm 19:1
FOR BY HIM, ALL THINGS WERE CREATED. THINGS IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH. I Corinthians 1:16

MORE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS
There are 4 ways to produce my landscape scenic images…… prints, canvas, acrylic and metal.

1) Photo paper prints on high quality satin finish professional printing stock. Though the least expensive, these prints are sharp, vivid and rich in color which sets them apart from a casual photo print you may be used to. This option is available in the following sizes:
8x10 8x12 11x14 12x18 16x20 16x24 20x30 24x36
WIDE – PANORAMIC PRINTS IN THESE SIZES
12x24 15x30 18x36 20x40 24x48

2) Ready to hang Canvas is a popular format. They are ready hang right out of the box with zero assembly required. Very convenient. Canvas prints is a well- known option that is affordable yet elegant. Thick wooden stretcher-bars give it shape in the same way that many oil paintings are displayed and assembled. Sizes listed next to each image (use the pull down menu “Select a Finish).
Some of my larger canvas images can also be produced with multiple panels (typically called split panels). The most common is a 3 panel option. Some of these samples can be seen on my Etsy page. Just search for “split panel canvas” at BobAugsburgFineArt. Contact me directly about any questions related to Split Panel Canvas options.

3) The third option is even more vivid and brilliant. Acrylic and Metal prints both are similar in look. Both surfaces create an elegant wall décor that shines with high end, exclusively rich colors. Both feature a glossy coating and rounded corners and are U/V resistant. They look very similar however acrylic, in my opinion, tends to work better in a room with a lot of natural window light because there is less glare when comparing to metal. Both are easy and ready to hang with stunning brilliant color!
