Mt. Vernon, VA - Washington's View - Work In Progress





A couple of months ago Dan and I visited Mt. Vernon, VA, the home of George Washington. His expansive property includes a wonderful view of the Potomac River. This painting is my interpretation of what his view may have looked like when he and Martha resided there.


This is still a work in progress, begun while painting outside Gallery North in Edmonds. I had the assistance of a few passersby as I worked up the composition.


What is left to do...a little more work on the grasses, trees, and sheep. Hope you enjoy it.
