I was thinking of David Hockney as I executed this portrait of a partially ice-covered lake in Breakheart Reservation.  He is one of my favorite watercolorists!

Depictions of grasses have been a focus for several years.  However, depicting them in watercolor has been a new challenge for me.  This scene is of the pond at Field Farm–a wonderful mid-century modern guest house run by the Trustees of Reservation and situated on a high meadow in Williamstown. In the background, albeit not visible in the painting, is Mount Greylock.

This mossy bank at Breakheart Reservation in Saugus, Massachusetts is always a source of visual and tactile delight.
