FALLS ON THE AUSABLE RIVER
Spring brings runoff from the mountain snow and it offers a great opportunity to gather photo reference of running water, falls and rocks. I like to make a pilgrimage to this spot Near Lake Placid every April to look for new compositions to bring back home to paint. The general shapes remain the same here, unless there’s been a flood, but the quality of light is always different and the movement of the water creates different effects and patterns from moment to moment. I love to paint in series to explore a subject and this spot is no exception. Consider exploring locations such as this one to inspire you to paint. Just getting out in the wilderness will uplift your spirit and kick your creativity into high gear.
