- Moose Pond

This was a "Plein Air" (Outdoor) painting I did while visiting the Adirondacks in NY state.  It was a short one mile hike that started by crossing over the Saranac River on a footbridge that lead me through a maze of tall Elms, Ash and Birch.  Eventually the trail came to this peaceful place, overlooking Moose Pond.   I arrived to watch the early morning fog slowly lifting off the pond, allowing the Adirondack Mountains to appear in the background.  It is these seemingly simple and yet peaceful moments that inspire me to paint outdoors.
