Daily Painting August 1 2010

Painting number two was begun at 6:30 am Sunday morning. The cold morning had caused water vapor to rise from the pond surface. Beautiful, dancing wisps of water droplets slowly travel up and over the water - a magical feeling. The sun just over the tree tops create blurry colors in the darkness of the tree line in the back ground.

This would have been posted earlier but my sister and I took kayaks from West Buxton dam to Bar Mills dam today. Far from a leisurely float - it was hard work paddling against the wind coming up the river from the east!

Here is painting number two. 6x9 - Pastels on La Carte sanded pastel paper - not my favorite surface.
