The name of this Audubon Sanctuary is, it must be said, a trifle twee. Images of skipping through long grass come to mind… But it is very beautiful and in the winter a little more “hardcore”.
This was the first outing for a small, portable easel that I acquired in a local antique store for the princely sum of $42. It was either very cared for, or had been used once.
The weather was damp and cold and I wasn’t well prepared. By the time I did the last painting I just wanted to go home and perhaps it shows.
Mark patiently walked around taking great photos which capture the place so well.

You’re a regular Claude Monet- who froze his tush off doing snowscapes in Honfleur in the winter of 1868
And we love the photos, Mr Powell…
Those trees look muscular. Just come in from pruning my grapevine and they look very similar
Thank you Graham – they were!
