Golden Ponds is a local park where I've often painted. It used to be a gravel pit which has since been turned into a park with a series of ponds and trails. Over the last couple years I have gone there mostly in fall and winter to paint. I thought it would be interesting to see and compare the mood of some of these paintings.

My most recent, Golden Ponds Bridge, 8 x 10, was on a quiet chilly morning in September this year, leaves not quite turned yet: 

December Grays, 8 x 10, was done on a cold drab day with ice covering the pond, and also includes the bridge, from December 2020:

Ice Reflections, 8 x 10, another early winter morning painting, this one from December 2019:

New Water, 8 x 10, from February, 2020. Geese and Ducks were starting to reappear in the open water:
