Riverbend

This is a view of the CT River from the East Haddam Boat launch. The sky was a good one as they have been recently, what with all of the crazy weather. One minute a down pour with thunder and lightning, the next sunny with rainbows. Tough to decide whether to set up or not. I don't mind playing beat the storm but sometimes with thunder clapping in the distance I worry about lightning. This is painted on one of my prepared panels. I love the surface. The texture of the gesso priming gives the painting an added interest. I prefer my own over some of the manufactured brands. Besides liking the result I also enjoy the prep work. This painting will be part of the Art Guide online exhibit.
