7x9, pastel and watercolor on wallis
Late afternoon trip to the river and I saw a whole new light. In addition, I explored a place I had never been before. Of course, I was in search of bluebells. This time there were only a few. I think that it simply wasn't swampy enough. At this point of the river the towpath and river are very far apart- maybe 1/4 mile. It simply amazes me that we, in this area, are so fortunate to have 185 miles of undeniable access to the river. Where else in this country can you get that?
