My latest watercolor painting came together very quickly. Entitled March Thaw, it’s based on another photograph taken at Vischer Ferry. I was standing on a bridge, overlooking the Erie Canal, as I took the photo. I was drawn to the crack in the ice and the water’s reflections as it began to thaw. The painting’s colors are very subdued, but there is actually a wide range of browns, purples, blues and gold throughout the painting.
