Description
This was a beautiful walkway to a stone gazebo overlooking the vast estate at Graylyn in Winston-Salem, North Carolina (NC). It was early spring and the tulips were blooming, along with many fruit trees in clouds of white flowers. I have applied a watercolor paint effect to my original image for a soft, impressionistic look.
Graylyn was once the country estate of Bowman and Nathalie Gray, who built the Norman Revival-style Manor House in the late 1920s. Bowman Gray was then president of tobacco company R.J. Reynolds, Inc. Graylyn emerged as the second-largest home in North Carolina, with nearly 85 rooms and 46,000 square feet of living space. Today, the Graylyn Estate is owned and operated by Wake Forest University and is Winston-Salem’s only luxury boutique hotel and conference center.
