Retreat Fields

(C) 2015 Dale DiMauro

This little watercolor(9" x 12") is of a field not far from our house, in Brattleboro, Vermont. I was on a late afternoon walk and particularly like the light at that time of day, at this time of the year. It was a late December day, so you would have thought it would have looked more like winter, with ample snow, but not in this case. It took less than two hours to complete this painting. I like the freshness and how the warm and cool colors portray the scene. It was painted much more watery and looser than others I have done. It seems to me a timeless and classic subject. What are your impressions?
