This Painting was done over several days. I first took a piece of watercolor paper and covered it in a light yellow wash. I then put my small John boat in the Susquehanna River at the Marietta Boat Club boat ramp access. I rowed upstream to an island and then drifted back and started the painting. I also took some pictures so I would have good reference materials back in the studio. I found some good pictures of the snow geese and added them to the sky. This spot is home to thousands of birds during the winter months. I used and airbrush to add the blue to the sky. An even thought this reproduction is dark I just loved the colors I used when doing the water.
The original is sold but reproductions are available.
