Le P'tit Train Du Nord adirondacks Fishing boats floating playfully through

Fishing boats floating playfully through the brisk morning mist in Boothbay ME

This painting comes from a memory of a particularly windy cool afternoon as the sun was setting

I arrived to watch the early morning fog slowly lifting off the pond

This is a "Plein Air" (Outdoor) painting I did while visiting the Adirondack Mountain Range Region

Le P'tit Train Du Nord adirondacks Fishing boats floating playfully throughThis painting explores the textures of a Canadian winter. I focused on the contrast between the heavy, permanent structure of the stone bridge and the delicate, spindly reach of the bare trees against a vast sky. The trail marks, remnants of skiers passing through which leads the eye into the tunnel, inviting the viewer to follow the path deeper down the path into the woods.
