Bear Creek - Old Mill

Spring Landscape, oil, 6x6

Spring Landscape, oil, 12x9

Last week Thursday I gladly painted with some friends at the old Mill on Chauncy Road. Every year we paint there at least once and always find a nice composition. Bear Creek was still high from all the rain this spring. I choose a view looking towards the bridge where the road passes over the creek. A nice pond is on the other side! I thought the bridge made a really good focal point. I like painting here in the spring because the foliage doesn't obscure the view of the creek. The peachy tone of distant budding trees was very evident this day.
