Along the Ashuelot River

(C) 2020 Dale DiMauro

This year the transition from winter to spring seems to be taking an eternity. While the current outbreak of COVID-19 is certainly altering human life in unprecedented ways, I am more eager than ever to spend time out in nature.

In the last couple of days I finally got back to painting. This watercolor is not a final product but has progressed well of late. There is something appealing about a sandy beach with dark, fresh, clear water. The verdant colors of spring bring nature to life.

Artistically, this picture has challenged me to take on subject matter I don't see everyday. That is erosion or the effects of erosion. There are exposed roots holding the sandy bank together, yet to be painted and driftwood dangling over the edge of the water.

When I finish this painting it will be posted.
