Other than that white fuzz from the poplar trees blowing around, today was all but the perfect day for some bike riding and painting. It certainly took awhile, and tomorrow calls for more thunderstorms, but hey, lets take a look at the paintings! The first one shows the canal, just after one of the locks... you can see the water ripples from just below the falls.

The
falls in question are the same ones I painted to great effect last year, so I decided to take a few different views, such as here where the water goes down a short step, with some yellow buoys to stop paddle boats from getting too close. On an angle the canal is blue, but when you look down on it, there are dark brown, blue and caramel tones.

A bit further downstream and there are rows and rows of boxy condos with green tinted glass. A lot of people were lounging about on the grass and riding their bikes or walking around. Its a cool place to live, with plenty to do in the summer. Lots of bikers wearing spandex were out today.
