At the very end of Damon Point Road in Marshfield, there is a sturdy commercial pier/dock that overlooks the North River just east of Route 3A. The river is really rushing here as the opening is at a narrow point. There are a few parking spots, a nice place to walk, and as it turns out, a very scenic spot for painting. The late summer sunsets were really starting to get more warm and colorful.
One evening, along with my walking, I set up my gear (unusual for this morning person!). It was nice that there was some decent color, but I have to admit, there was not as much color in real life as is depicted in this painting. I used my memory of the more vibrant sunsets to paint the sky and to fill in the orangey golds of the mudflats. I painted the hardscape of the scene, tree lines, seagrasses, docks and perching branches with what was in front of me. Other than seeing spots for the rest of the night from staring at the sun, it was a perfect evening!
