Vermont is full of streams and rivers. This particular spot is just below the bridge on Mill Brook Road, crossing Mill Brook. The canopy of trees with light filtering in was the attraction. Painting woods can be complicated and I wanted to try this scene for both that challenge and to work on painting streams and rocks. For this painting I used a smooth panel surface, instead of the usual canvas, so that I could more easily paint the detail. Overall I really like how this came out and feel like it captures the feeling I was after.
