Cox Reservation, Essex MA
Oil on Canvas, 16 x 20 in

The day I worked on this we were having 50mph winds, which had resulted, by the time I got working, in two fully prepared palettes landing face down in the grass and countless other disasters. The blue in the foreground is a puddle. I was freezing, by the time I’d got to the foreground I had all the right colours mixed but was too cold to focus on using them carefully. However, I like the way it looks and I am leaving it this way.
