Water Colors From Nova Scotia

I like to do several water colors on a page at one time which is not always the case but it helps me compare the images side by side. I can do them quickly and can get more work done with small sketches than if I work on just one large image.
(The images below are larger than actual Size)

Nova Scotia , St Margarets Bay near Peggys Cove

This a small 5 x 7 inch oil painting is a close up view of a tree and rocks about 50 yards from where I was standing,. It is interesting that one of my friends and student called it wind swept as it certainly is . The trees and vegetation in the area are hardy from the moist air that waters them off the ocean but very dense and  compact because of the severe weather they encounter in winter . When you travel 4 or 5 five miles in any direction the trees  change standing tall and long like any woods you may find in Maine or up and down the east coast. It is a wonderful place to visit and paint which I plan to visit often.
