| Barn at Dusk |
The Susquehanna River Valley is just as picturesque a place as can be, the iconic farms with tall silos, cattle on rolling hills, and distant hills fading into the distance with light shades of blue. It wasn't hard to find some stunning scenes!
During the painting competition we could paint up to five plein air paintings, two of which would be submitted (all without he assistance of photography.) I shared the first painting of the side of the mansion at the Fort Hunter. Here are three more paintings.

| View for Eternity |
The
Barn at Dusk was done along the Yellow Breeches Creek looking uphill. Teens were enjoying "surfing" down the swift currents of the creek behind me, along with their dog. They would slide down the rapids then emerging downstream and walk back upstream for a truly natural carnival ride. They provided company as well as entertainment:).

| Susquehanna from Fort Hunter |
View for Eternity was done early in the morning from the back parking lot of a hilltop church looking down the slope of the adjacent cemetery. I loved the hills and the moist clouds (there was a quick sprinkle). The colors were cool pinks, yellows and blue - and sooo much green!
Susquehanna from Fort Hunter was done in the late afternoon. I was facing west and the sun was sitting high above the hill on the other side of the river. Whenever the sun peaked though the clouds, there would be bright yellow illumination over the tops of the trees and down the hill. (Dark patches were the cloud shadows.)
Does anyone know if "America the Beautiful" was written here? So amazing!
