Recently, I walked along the West River in Brattleboro, VT. It was a late afternoon and the sun was shielded by the clouds for a period of time. So I took a photograph which appeared as if it were a black and white image.
Days later this made think I should consider painting a monotone watercolor or a sepia-colored painting.
Well this is what I came up with and I kind of like it. It is a stark image but strong in conveying the tree, river and distant landscape. To me it appears timeless as if it could have been painted one hundred years ago.
I only used three pigments to paint this scene: sepia/ultramarine blue and permanent sap green.
