I really do like this landscape. Did you do it plein air? I love to paint at a nearby Civil War plantation house because there is so much texture and color.

Thank you bj.
No, I painted it from a photo. I don't paint well in plein air. I seem to want to put the whole world in the painting. Did you notice that I linked your blog to mine?

Terrific piece Wanda. Wonderful lighting and textures. Makes me wish I had done more painting when I was up at Fort Ticonderoga last week!
Best,
Cooper
