Fort Dummer is the closest state park to where I live in Vermont. Years ago stone was removed and as a result this natural looking pond remains at the foot of these stone plinths. It is a hidden pond which makes it a little eerie but has a spectacular landscape, nonetheless.
This summer with the drought I have never seen so much shoreline. However, I find it an intriguing subject matter for a plein air picture.
Still, I painted this picture at home because it was so dry and dusty by the water. This picture was painted on The Masters' Choice paper which has a lovely bead to it's surface. At least the rough surface has this shimmer to it when the paper is wet.
I believe the colors are fairly accurate to what I saw outside.
