Pisgah State Park

(C) 2020 Dale DiMauro

Pisgah State Park is the largest state park in New Hampshire with 13,688 mostly wooded acres. It consists of seven ponds, wetlands and an old growth forest. Of most importance it resides in Chesterfield, NH which is only about fifteen minutes away.

Kilburn pond within the park is a popular spot for young people to take a dip or swim. Also, it is easy to get lost in this park if you veer off the labeled trails.

However, there are numerous scenic areas. I hope I captured one of those such areas in the above watercolor. This is a true summer scene with rich colors which can only be found in nature. This painting was done rapidly with no hesitation.

I feel this photograph doesn't quite capture the feel, texture and colors as in the watercolor. Regardless, there is a saturation of color which both draws the viewer in and is very expressive.
