West River Trail

The West River Trail in Brattleboro, VT is a nice little path to get some fresh air and stretch your legs. I always bring my camera when I head out on the trail as there are many attractions along the way. Often you see some kind of paddlers along the way whether it's canoes or sculls in the summer season. I have seen all kinds of bird activity along the Connecticut River and even in the adjacent fields.

This watercolor was inspired by one of the fields you pass along the way. It is interesting to observe the seasonal change in these fields. Some months of the year it becomes a wide open field with all the growth cut down and then it fills in over the summer with eight foot high corn.

I like the distant hills with the changing of the light and ever-changing color patterns.
