A few summers ago, my wife and I were taken by a relative, to this prime blueberry picking field in Maine. The landscape was lush with moisture in the air and on the ground. There was even an old, stone structure commanding the high point in the field, capped with a green roof. In the distance is the site of the notorious dragon concrete plant.
Capturing the atmospheric qualities of this landscape may perhaps, best be achieved in watercolor. If I exaggerated the misty horizon, you the viewer, may have had a better sense of what this place was like on this particular mid-summer afternoon.
One of the challenges to communicate in this picture is a sense of depth or perspective when there is
no road or river to draw the viewer into the scene. If done well, the patterns of growth and coloration
will meander across the field and upon the dark green foliage taking you to the distant body of
water.
