I  spent time  in June painting "plein-air" from Mystic Ct. to Watch Hill RI.   A foggy morning on the south shore of RI provided wonderful material for new inspiration.   I enjoy misty mornings such as these, especially when the sea displays subtle greens in the rising waves.

I completed this painting along a stream close to my home, the "Little Bushkill Creek".   It is a place I love to visit and explore the dynamics of lighting as the clear water flows over the stones.   As I rarely complete a painting in one sitting, this piece was painted over three visits to the site at the same time of day with clear skies.   Plein air works such as this, provide ideas and material for larger paintings in the studio.
