Maria G. and I had a lovely day at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis. Neither of us had been there to paint before, so we took some time driving around to see what there was and what we might want to capture in pastel. Maria wanted to get down to the water, so we headed to the two little gazebos that look out over the Harness River, and settled ourselves in the left-hand one. The views were absolutely gorgeous, and the weather was perfect. Maria focused long-range, up the river, and I focused on the other gazebo, with the river behind. I’m happy with the result as a site sketch – I don’t think it’s good enough to post or frame. But it has given me ideas for a colored pencil piece that I want to do, and I started that piece the same weekend.
