Merchant Mill Pond - Plein Air

This morning my daughter, her dog, and I went to Merchant Mill Pond in North Carolina.  What a pretty place!  Close to the Great Dismal Swamp, this place had a large pond with cypress trees, the trees with the large bases growing up from the pond.  I was concerned that the current fire in the Dismal Swamp might cause the Mill Pond area to be smoky but, thankfully, the smoke blew in a different direction.  I may go back to this site because after I painted the painting, we found a much nicer location to paint from.  It was a very nice day!  This painting is painted on a 9x12 stretched canvas.
