Pomme de Terre River

I have finally gotten out my paints and played around today with them. I have not painted for some time due to another knee surgery. With my studio in the basement, it is not too easy to get down there to work. I did two small watercolors today in a couple of hours. One will have to be a greeting card as it isn't worth a matt and frame. I think this one turned out a bit better than the other. This is a 6x8 watercolor of the Pomme de Terre River, just below the dam near Hermitage, Mo. It is such a beautiful spot and I have photographed it so many times. And I have painted it before and put some children playing in the water under this big old tree.
