Been Backpacking

I've been out backpacking with my family, and enjoyed being out in the woods, and exploring new places. We hiked a section of the Loyalsock Trail, and traveled through beech and hemlock, reaching waterfalls and a few vistas. Some off-trail exploring also revealed a secluded mountain stream pool, just right for getting wet and cool! Now I'm back in the studio, working on oils developing from the sketches of water lilies and pond,  trying to get those rich colors and the wonders of water reflections!
