Click here to bid on this painting.
This was painted in Easton, Maryland in July of 2006 at dusk during the annual Plein Air Festival which the town hosts each year. The was the first painting done, right after the meeting which started the event. (The back of the panel is stamped with the official "Plein Air Easton" logo to prove that it was actually painted there, in Easton, on site). It was done off of the Easton Parkway looking in a western direction at sunset (toward the sunset). The body of water is a tributary of the Tred Avon River and there is an old house and old mill in the scene. The sunset colors remind me of the moody paintings done by the great American painter and Hudson River artist, Martin Johnson Heade of his series of marsh scenes done at sunset.
