Study, February Chill River And these colors sing most

And these colors sing most brilliantly against a clear cerulean sky

They say that

I enjoyed the subtle play of color within this composition

I caught this moment near my home during the longest day of summer and I loved the feeling of joy and uplift

It was a lot of fun to paint

Study, February Chill River And these colors sing mostThe graceful swoop of hemlocks along Honey Creek in central Pennsylvania's Reeds Gap State Park drew my eye to this moment. Measurable winter snowfalls are often arriving later in the season, and I caught this moment in mid February. The wonderful afternoon light brought added color and dimension to this subject.
