quiet morning

Spy Pond Series #25

I couldn't resist painting this serene view Saturday when I walked with Cally to check out the early morning Pond scene.  There were tons of runners and bikers but all seemed to be on a mission to get out and exercise and no one was sitting just looking out, unlike most mornings.  I had a good time with my oil paints, brush and palette knife and got a glossy surface on the water which can't be seen from this photo.  The day which started out overcast turned to bright sun by the time Town Day in Arlington started.  Thank goodness and it turned out to be a great day.

cycling past the pond

Cycling Past the Pond

Spy Pond Series #24

I managed to catch a pic of a bicyclist out early in the morning.  The Minuteman Bike Path runs parallel to Spy Pond for a bit and makes for a nice view while riding.  I'll be adding more figurative art as I wrap up this year at Spy Pond!
