©2010 Carolyn A. Pappas, The Scenic Drive, east to west. Ink and watercolor, 10 x 13.5 cm.
This is a view of the Connecticut River as seen from the French King Bridge, one of the many special places in Western Massachusetts. I reworked this colored pencil sketch from last year to make this painting. I do a lot of work in ink and watercolor but this was definitely an experiment in a different style for me. It was a lot of fun, and also a welcome change as I haven’t done a lot of colorful work recently.
I’m heading to the post office tomorrow morning to send this painting off to Norway. I’m participating in the Twitter Art Show organized by David Sandum (@DavidSandumArt on Twitter). David had the brilliant idea to leverage a number of his Twitter contacts to raise money for his local library (for children’s books). I thought this was a great opportunity to help out, and I hope my painting finds a good home in Norway.
