This 9x12 oil on canvas was done at the Mississenwa Reservoir, Summerset, Ind. It's much more traditional than my larger canvases. I tend to be more of the traditional impressionist with canvases that are under 16x20 in size. I am much more of an abastact impressionist with my use of color. But some of my use of color is very evident in the dark shadows.

The woodlands were deep and dark, but this old picket fence lead off toward an open area where the sun was very bright. To see more of my work go to my website, www.avonwaters.com
