Description
This is a characteristic tree on the north fence of Watershed Farm at the very crest of the Oak Ridges Moraine looking toward the northwest. The tree has a very odd lean to it over the shallow pond.
It was a rare October afternoon. The skies cleared nicely after thick morning fog, drizzle and then some heavy rain. The weather was meant to be enjoyed so the family Maine Coon Cat and Chesapeake and I headed out. The Japanese beetles were out in force and many flew into the paint. I let them crawl onto the wood tip of my brush and then I winged them off to safety. There are probably very few oil-painted ladybugs out there but I know where there are some. A few of the little devils bit me and there were even a couple who crawled down my back ... and then bit me!
The Chesapeake forgot to bring a ball this time so she broke off a stick and got me to toss that for her. The Maine Coon prowled the woods pictured in the painting but after an hour or so of that, she was content to bask in the sun on the hillside behind me and watch me paint. Painting can be a family affair.

It reminds me of the pond where I go to take pictures of Mallards and Wood Ducks, a place in this pond is almost like your beautiful artwork Phil. Likes + Favorites.

Exquisite color and reflections...and your always beautiful treatment of water. The purple-blue accent is stunning! My new favorite! Wow! l/f

This is actually one of my favourites as well Sunny. Something magical can happen en plein air surround by friends - the cat and dog in this case:>) Thank you so much.
