Summer has come to an end at least for most people. Schools are starting or have started and the days have gotten much shorter.
On Friday I painted this scene on the Brattleboro Common from a picnic table. The greens and natural light were spectacular. However, it felt like the seasons was about to change. The Brattleboro Common at times became quite devoid of people.
I like the burst of color and intensity of greens which oozed across the moist paper. The shadows were full of life and character too.
Often I find in watercolor you have to let the pigment do it's own thing. It's so easy to overwork the medium and it will show. The more you push pigment around the more diluted the wash becomes. This is one of those times where the freshness of the medium is very satisfying.
