Mount Nittany from Millbrook Marsh

Centering Myself, Outdoors collection
a collaboration with ClearWater Conservancy

Week three of the Centred Outdoors season featured a hike up Mount Nittany, and I debated which would be more iconic, the vista from the Mike Lynch Overlook or a view of the symbol of our Penn State Pride from some vantage point below.

I chose to paint this portrait of Mount Nittany from one of my all-time favorite spots conserved by ClearWater Conservancy, on the boardwalk bump-out over Bathgate Run at Millbrook Marsh Nature Center.

I served many years on both the Mount Nittany Conservancy Board and the Millbrook Marsh
Nature Center Advisory Committee, and it is
great to see Millbrook’s new Welcome Pavilion and the expansion of the Spring Creek Education Building nearing completion.
