Mt Gretna Canoes #2 ~ Linda Young



Mt Gretna Canoes #2
10-5/16 x 14"
Watercolor by Linda Young


After painting the first one of the Mt Gretna Canoes in a miniature with an under painting, I decided I would do this one without the under painting and in a larger size.  I've added the dead stump in the lower corner and tree to the right.  Basically, the canoes are in the same position with more detail in the foreground.

This will be in the exhibit at Carlisle Arts Learning Center beginning May 7th along with the exhibit of Steve VanVoorhees, ceramicist.

Linda, I love the play of light and shadow on the canoes - you took something ordinary and have made it quite extraordinary!

The shadows are so interesting ... what a warm, inviting grouping!
