Description
After completing #2494 "Path Behind the PSW", I moved a few dozen yards to the east along the trail and painted looking up, toward the fork in Long Reach Lane. This is the shortest tractor trail and path to get to Point Paradise at the far western end of our Singleton Lake property. The snow was deeper along this portion of the trail due to the thicker forest to the south. You could still see the tractor tracks in the snow from when I drove the Singleton Kubota Portable Studio through the snow drifts to Point Paradise on Tuesday March 9th, 2021. I painted #2481 "Singleton Shagbark Hickory Point" and #2482 "Hickory Point in March" that day in early March. What a change in the snow cover as predicted by Singleton Philly on February 2nd.
It was getting windy as the ridge of high pressure pushed further to the east. The rain with the approaching frontal system was still four days away.
The birds were getting ready for spring. The great blue heron even arrived back home to the provincially significant wetland (PSW) while I painted.

Such a rich palette and gorgeous interwoven tones and brushstrokes...fresh and alive! Love the way you simplify and get the statement down with spontaneity and energy! Terrific, as always, Phil Chadwick!
Phil Chadwick replied:
Squeezing oils on to the palette really does have an important influence on whatever you might paint... you picked up on that for sure Sunny. Energy is the main ingredient for me. I charge into a composition inspired by nature. Thank you!
