I went to the woods because I wished to live
deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. Henry David Thoreau
This is a watercolor/pastel painting of the Celery Farm pond in Allendale, NJ.
The shape of the two trees seemed "linked together". The pastel makes the painting more powerful when used over the watercolor. The water did remind me of Thoreau's Walden pond in Massachusetts. Spending time in nature helps me slow down, THINK, and just BE.
