"Waterbury Center View of Camel's Hump" 2013 C. Asheley Kapelewski

The neighborhood I lived in, in Waterbury Center (near the Ben & Jerry's Plant) had a little xc ski trail known only to the residents at that time. I could access it right from the backyard of my apartment house, right behind the barn. This sweet private view was the reward for me after a long day at work. The plateau the village is on provides wonderful sunsets.

 

"Sunset Flocks" 2023 watercolor - C. Asheley Kapelewski

I feel in love with the color quinacridone gold a few years ago, it was such a different flavor to add to my usual palette. Couldn't resist it for sunsets that glow almost as vibrantly as the real thing. A typical Lake Champlain Basin scene during fall migration with Canada geese winging over ducks bedded down for the night.
