My friend and I walked quite a distance to find this spot overlooking Buck Pond. I really liked the ominous sky and the colors in the November landscape.
Marsh grass is the most difficult thing I can think of to paint. This time it came out well, however. After working on it in the field, I brought it home and punched up the colors. Over all, I like the way it turned out.
Beatty Point, a few miles from my house, is one of my favorite places to paint. It feels very remote although it's right off the Parkway and Long Pond Road. I always seem to find something to paint there, no matter what time of year it is. The paintings don't always come out well, but I always enjoy being there. This painting was done in early spring and the combination of winter grass colors and spring leaves just coming out made for an interesting composition. SOLD
