This painting was done on location in late summer, at Larson Woodland in Attleboro, Massachusetts.  A [peaceful short walk will send you to a sandy point overlooking a lovely view of Mechanic Pond.  The creation of this artwork is based on the same principles as the "American Impressionist" working from life, plein air.  Your eyes see so many more colors, than can be captured by artificial means.  Plein Air is the most intense form of painting, all of the artist's creative knowledge is called upon; drawing, composition, lighting, warm and cool colors, brushstrokes, etc., in a short block of time.
