#0745 "The Pool"

This is looking northwestward from the back hill of Watershed Farm into the dark pool beyond the pond. It was fairly early on Sunday morning and the flights of geese were straggling out of the wetland as the sun continued to rise. A couple of flocks swung around and landed in the pond to keep me company. I was most interested in getting the subtle shades of green right. The goldenrod was in full colour and became more pronounced as the morning wore on.

It was surprisingly warm and muggy for late August. This was my morning Sunday sermon in the cathedral of the great outdoors. All of nature attended the service.

I painted this pool many times. A very similar composition inspired me the following spring in #0790 "Spring Marsh".
