| Old Stone Bridge Stage Two |
When I was commuting to Portsmouth, Rhode Island for work, I would take Route 44 through cranberry country, always a treat (the pretty scenery on the way, not the work part). There was also a spot in Middleboro where the Nemasket River paralleled and then passed under Route 44. On this cloudy Saturday we made a plan to head out midday and paint at the Route 44 Nemasket River Herring Run. Autumn was just starting its preliminary show, so there was not a lot of color in the trees, but I did pump it up to my own liking.
This spot is yet another local treasure for observing nature, fish, ducks and herons. I took the heron picture and was surprised to see once I uploaded it, that this heron actually is sticking her tongue out. First, I didn't know they had tongues, and second that they can stick them out and third, what are the chances of clicking a photo while its out?
As for the painting, the openings under the bridge were variable in size and distance apart. That usually makes a more interesting composition than boring uniformity. The red underpainting was setting off the greens nicely, although I worked the heck out of it to the point where only a little shows through in the end.
