"Water Tower at kings Gap" 9"x12" Watercolor on Arches 140lb paper
This is my first painting with my friends from Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters. It was a perfect day in the park. The acorns were falling, the bees and butterflies were busy and the frogs were in good humor. I chose the unusual water tower as my subject. This created a good composition and the colors shimmered in the sunlight.

This is really nice! Beautiful piece of work!
Debra, it really is an unusual structure; I'm glad you chose it. It looks sort of like some magical tower hidden in the woods, and your soft treatment adds to the storybook quality. I doubt many water towers get this beautiful treatment!
Deb, I can honestly say that this is one of the very best paintings I have seen of the water tower at Kings Gap. Please display it during the Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters exhibit during the Garden Harvest Festival this October! I think someone will grab this right up!!!
An absolutely delightful piece, completely redolent of your description of the day. I love unusual structures such as this. Is the tower on the roof or set behind the brick building?
Deb - so happy you will be showing at the King's Gap Exhibit this year. I know your love of the park.
AutumnLeaves...The tower sets on top of a brick round structure. Very unusual.
I love the color bleed in that tower..you always do such pleasing work!
Beautiful watercolor! I like you lights and darks.
