Wissahickon Creek by Cedarbrook                                       Here is progress up to early June, 2016. Most of the foliage is finished, now on to rocks and water!   

This is progress up to Febuary 10, 2016 -

 I'm having a great time and enjoying the color.

 Also liking working from left to right along the top half 

- keeping my hand from smearing wet paint.

Begun in December, 2015, this is a view of the Wissahickon creek below Penllyn, PA. Rocks and early autumn colors, with many leaves still on the trees and reflecting in the water are the basic characteristics that led me to this scene. I almost felt I "couldn't not" paint this piece because I broke my toe and injured my foot in obtaining the reference material for the painting.

I'm still at work on my previous painting, but it is nearing completion which usually takes more deliberation, so starting a new piece offers some freedom and quicker progress.
