Looking down river

(C) 2016 Dale DiMauro

We have a state park in my town called Fort Dummer with southern oriented views of the Connecticut River. A nuclear plant is being decommissioned beyond this bend in the river. The river is quite shallow in some areas as it opens up with many pockets and inlets for wildlife habitat.

I have always admired this view from high up in the woods at a picnic table down into the river valley with the hills and much of the sky in view.

This picture was done on 300 lb Arches watercolor paper with which I have been experimenting more lately. I find this paper holds moisture longer, has greater texture, while building up greater concentration of pigments.
