A Maryland landscape

(C) 2018 Dale DiMauro

This little watercolor was inspired by a recent trip to Maryland, north of Baltimore. The unfurling of the foliage after a long winter, was naturally, more advanced down in Maryland than it was in Vermont. However, the browns with the combination of the green foliage drew my attention.

This state park has an impressive waterfall and draws lots of people. Apparently, some are known to dive in, while many wade into the water to cool down. It is reminiscent of many swimming holes in southern Vermont.

I do like how you can see through the water to the rocks beneath the surface. The water is shallow and it is characteristic of this river which I recalled from a previous outing. Capturing this quality is important and I think this is the best I have done to date.
