Quabbin Reservoir by Goodnough Dike
Quabbin Reservoir by Goodnough Dike
This painting is a depiction of the serene Quabbin Reservoir in Belchertown, Massachusetts. T²he artwork captures the essence of a summer day by Goodnough Dike. The weather was warm, with temperatures in the high 80's and a touch of humidity in the air, creating a tranquil atmosphere. As I ventured down to the water's edge, I was struck by the vibrant hues of the sky and water, both displaying shades of mesmerizing blue. To faithfully recreate the breathtaking sky, I employed a combination of phthalo blue, French ultramarine, and a subtle touch of dioxazine purple. These pigments blended harmoniously to bring out the depth and richness of the scene. It's worth noting that the Quabbin Reservoir serves as a crucial water source for the city of Boston, further adding significance to this picturesque location.
