New Cumberland Spillway
14" x 11"
Acrylic on stretched canvas
This painting was started on 6-19-13 when some of the members of the SVPAP (Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters) met at this park. I usually never paint longer than 2-3 hrs because of the light change. However, I was not satisfied with the painting and went back by myself July 26, over a month later, and did another 2-3 hrs worth of work. The painting doesn't have the 2 hr fast draw look, but I'm liking the more finished look a little better. I walk this park several times a week, weather permitting. It is 3/4 miles around, with the Yellow Breeches surrounding over half of the walk. It is beautiful and during my 3 mile walk, I spend a lot of time studying this section of the stream. New Cumberland, Pa., is where this stream empties into the Susquehanna River. It is a fisherman's dream, and never a day goes by when there isn't at least 1 fisherman throwing out his line, but more often there are several. The spillway is their favorite spot.
