"Sunset Over the Gorge" is a major work by one of America's finest landscape artists, Phillip Philbeck. Living about an hour west and north of Charlotte, North Carolina, he is close to some of the most beautiful land in the country. This painting features Hickory Nut Gorge which was the location for much of the filming of the movie, "The Last of the Mohicans". Philbeck paints the mountains, farms, piedmonts and shores of his native state.
