Bingham Falls - Stowe Land Trust, 12 x 16" Oil by Candy Barr

12 x 16 inches Oil on canvas board

 This is available at my gallery in Stowe


 Bingham Falls was a challenging hike to get down to. Nicely placed rocks for steps along steepest part the last 1/4 of the way in, is not for weak knees.  The stream feeds into the West Branch Waterbury River.
The Smuggler's Notch Camp had a group of teens swimming today after I had set up to paint the falls.
Cold water...a few jumped from the top left!

Moss Glen Falls, Granville VT- #71511



Each 11 x 14 inches Oil on canvas board

These are two separate paintings.

$325. free ship in US (painting on left)






A producer at Chronicle WCVB TV, the half hour New England magazine show that airs on the ABC television affiliate in Boston contacted me to film my class here this week!

He's working on a show, using waterfalls as the connecting theme,
including a number of different elements along the way.( Let's hear it for plein air daily painters!)
I went the day before filming to have one nearly completed,
and a start for another, similar to show the progression.



This was stage before they filmed, with the water yet to be painted in. It's always easier to add the lightest color last and have some of the darks a bit drier so the color lays down.




A gorgeous day in Granville Vermont at the Moss Glen Falls along Rt 100. They are hoping to have it ready to show by September. I'll pass on the date when they let me know!



This local was hot from haying, and came here to cool off the day before the filming!

Bear at the Bobbin Mill Falls



24 x 24 inches Oil on canvas



Detail



This was done on location with the small exception of siting the bears. But we certainly do have a bear habitat here in the Mad River Valley. In fact there have been bear citings in my yard as I am nestled next to woods on a mountain. I've stopped feeding the birds because it seems indistinguishable to bears! My neighbor up the hill had one sitting chomping away at her feeder, and it decimated the flower garden upon her departure.

Rushing Water



11 x 14 inches Oil on birch

Rushing river over rocks ...cannot be anymore exciting. The water has been high with all the rain we have had in Vermont this summer.

Standing on the bank of the falls in Johnson

Big Drop

16" x 16" Oil on canvas




Another day by the rushing water.
The sound the falling water makes is so loud,
and has an irregular rhythm as it falls
in uneven amounts but steady.
My underpainting of orange is so perfect
with all the moss green,grey rocks and dark shadows.
I'll post another stage most likely. I miss the orange
and brightness with warm.

Victoria Falls

18" x 18" Oil on canvas



Process

This was such a stupendous site, listening to the rushing water and figuring out a composition quickly. I may need to go back into this to get the color back in the earlier layout above.

Moss Glen Falls

$125. + S/H SOLD


Water is full during spring, I'll try to paint here again over the summer as it thins down.
The sound of rushing water makes it even more special to paint.

Warren Dam


24" x 24" Oil

the plein air this size and water may be a tad overload.
This just takes on too many shadow and light changes
to work as well as I'd like. Great spot though
