Summer at Moose River: The day was hot, humid and glorious. It was almost too hot to paint outside. But my daughter and I set up near the bridge and painted the river valley anyway. I think the intense heat nearly splintered the light! I was painting here one summer when my friend in her tomato-soup-colored VW Bug stopped mid-span, and shouted out her window: "Betsy, look who's watching you!" I turned, and gazing thoughtfully over my shoulder at my canvas was a deer. She pondered my work for a while, then ambled away.
Summer at Moose River is 9x12" oil on canvas.
