"Yellow Creek Revisited"
watercolor 4" x 6" strathmore 140lb cold press
Metroparks O'Neil Woods Deer Run trail
I first painted this creek in the fall of 1980 as a college student. I was quite pleased with my work until my instructor said, "That's nice, but I wouldn't hang it on a wall."
I took great satisfaction in painting it once again, with more skill, in the summer of 2005. To keep myself humble, I managed to fall into the creek to avoid messing with a dangling spider...
Fellow en plein air painters periodically remind me of my innate ability to immerse myself in my subject matter.
