Return to Harpers Ferry by Linda Young

This is the second painting I've done of the Harpers Ferry. The photo reference for this painting was of a gray sky and the trees didn't have much color to them. I don't really know what the colors of Springtime look like at this historic location; I hope to return someday to paint there again and find out.
