Field Sketches at Salmon Falls

Ended up in Rollinsford after a drive over back roads.
I set up behind the mill near the falls. It was quiet there.


The base of Salmon Falls.


I'm warming up on my first sketch.


8x10, oil on panel


I liked painting the waterfall so much I did a larger more detailed one immediately (18x20).  Had to work really fast. It started to rain. Needed my umbrella to finish it.

  4. Susan, Thank you! I will post pictures of the location if I have them on file. I have a back log of paintings, sketches and illustrations to post... all the recent ones will have the location pictures so you can see what I am choosing from the location.
