| Cranberry Bog Snow Melt |
One of my favorite cranberry bog scenes is located in Duxbury, MA and is called
Plucky Bog.
This bog is situated right alongside Route 3 in South Duxbury. I've painted here on other occasions, and on this mild, mid-February the last of the shaded snow was still visible. The shaded snow was blue, much bluer than you would think. The cobalt sky had wispy clouds and jet contrails that happened to be angling opposite of the bog channels. The linear elements seemed to point to the irrigation pump house on the far embankment, a good compositional feature.
At this spot in the past, a fox ran across the bog, some deer emerged from the far trees and red tailed hawks put on a swooping show. Today, there were no sightings, other than the observation of a perfect winter day out of the studio!
