Yesterday’s painting – #5 of the daily painting project!

When we saw this scene last year at Shepherdstown near the Potomac River, we didn’t know exactly what it was — discolored parapet, water culverts, old stone pillars, small gushing stream, totally shaded by trees.  Mysterious.  Drew our attention.

I’m thinking this painting still needs a lot of ‘clarifying’ work.  May or may not ‘go back in’ and tweak it some more.  I scraped off some whites above the ‘black hole’ because they were way too bight, but probably should add some other light colored patches there . . .
