SEASONS OF CODORUS STATE PARK

A DANCE BY THE CREEK

This is a rework of a painting I posted in Feb.  I enriched the colors and tried to make the light stronger.

PATHWAY

A plein air painting in March.  I choose this simple scene to get started painting out of doors again.  After painting in the studio for much of the winter, it is hard to look at the landscape and eliminate what is not needed to create harmony and say what you want to convey to the viewer.
