For most of the year, the Brattleboro Common is a lovely spot to hang out. In particular, I like the quality of the trees and the picnic tables. I have painted here many times in all kinds of weather. I seem to notice something different every time I am at the Common.
Since summer I have been meaning to paint the statue on the war memorial. There is something about this figure and it's location that has captured my imagination. Maybe it's the updated plaque by the memorial - I don't know.
For me this watercolor captures some of the characteristics I think of when I think of the Brattleboro Common. The edge of meandering trees is special with the additional specimen trees scattered about the space. Also, the ribbon of a path is inviting.
