Kilgore Falls

Last sat. weather was so clear and cool I drove out to Harford Co. MD's highest waterfall and painted on site.Kilgore Falls is a 10 min hike into the woods. I set up deep in the shadows. The sun broke through the trees in little bursts of bright color. It was a 2 hour color sketch but it was good to get out into the world and sit in woods and try to capture a fleeting moment. I will probably
re-work this sketch and deepen the shadows.
It was quite dark when I painted it in the woods and the painting is very pale under brighter lighting conditions. oil on birch panel 12x12 in SOLD
