Living Memorial Park

Living Memorial Park, in Brattleboro, VT is such a versatile and well-used park. In addition to numerous softball fields it has areas to play pickle ball, a skatepark, frisbee golf, a ski lift and snowboard area. I haven't even mentioned it has a swimming pool, ice rink and performance stage, too. 
Still, I am leaving out many activities of high value to folks such as the tennis courts, etc.

This watercolor was started at the end of summer but left unfinished for one reason or another. I started this painting on a thicker stock surface - Arches 300 lb cold press since I hadn't painted on this surface in a while.

Recently, with the colder weather moving in and the shorter days advancing I went back to this painting. I was inspired by this view across the landscape, plus all the green colors and the shadowy edge in the foreground.

This picture is not finished but close to being done. A little more attention to the wispy grasses poking out of the shadows in the foreground will make a big difference.
