This painting is an experiment with an old charcoal drawing that I completed after a trip to New Hampshire with my wife and daughter. Both the trip and drawing were completed many years ago.
Like many of my drawings, there were things I really liked about it and some things that didn't work the way I wanted them too. What I've learned over time, is that by observing a subject closely, there is more that I retain / notice from the location than I'm able to capture at the time. So I simply put it aside and moved on to other subjects knowing at some point I'd return to the subject.
This painting is gouache on paper (over the charcoal drawing). I'm really learning to enjoy gouache, though I must admit that transparent watercolor is still my favorite!
