Adirondacks: Whiteface Mountain, in New York’s Adirondacks, is the fifth highest peak in the state at an elevation of 4865 feet. Recently my husband Ed and I spent several days in Wilmington with family. On one gorgeous fall morning Ed, our son, and granddaughter set off on the Flume Trail to fish the West Branch of the Ausable River. Being the only non-angler of the group, I traipsed along with paint bag and chair in tow, finding a beautiful pond with a mirror reflection and Whiteface backdrop. There I setup and enjoyed peaceful hours trying to capture the warmth of this October day. Upon leaving I took a few photos and finished the watercolor at the kitchen table that afternoon. This watercolor appeared in the November 2020 Gazette, newsletter of the Catskill Fly Tyers Guild.
