Local Woods

This scene pretty much sums up the 2021 summer for me, here in southern Vermont. From my perspective it was very wet and humid, for long stretches, while even dark at times. I can't remember a summer like this and I hope it is way different next year, in all aspects.

On the other hand there is a quality to this watercolor which I find calming and refreshing with the various greens of the forest vegetation. Perhaps, it is that these recognizable colors and patterns of the local flora are familiar and recognizable. 

Seldom do I work on a painting that doesn't really have a sky. This is what may evoke an element of mystery to the whole scene. After all, watercolor is the medium for conveying atmospheric conditions.
