Spring Peepers

Spring Peepers was started on site "plein air" and finished in my studio. If you look to the right of the tree, you will see little tiny green frogs. This was early spring and the peepers were so loud! The willow was just starting to bloom and the bushes all had that gorgeous new red growth (well...alizarin crimson in painter's lingo). The scene is from Lower Allen Community Park.

Willow Tree at Pheasant Field Inn

Pheasant Field Inn B & B Willow Tree

20x24" - Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

Soon it will be time to go and explore the grounds of the Pheasant Field Inn B&B located just outside of Carlisle PA. The pond will be taken over by families of turtles. Simply heaven on earth to watch them sun themselves on the fallen tree limbs. Birds singing in the trees. New foliage bursting on the willow branches that gently rustle in the breeze.
The owner of the Inn enjoys having plein air artists come and work on site. The Inn is a destination point on the "Route 15 By Way of the Arts" Pennsylvania Artisan Trail.
