Autumn Walk at Alvethorpe Lake

This painting was inspired by a day walking with my wife on a beautiful Autumn day at Alvethorpe Lake in Abington Township, PA near. The bike/walking trail around the lake I have walked more than a hundred times in my lifetime and is especially beautiful during this time of year with the multiple trees and leaves changing color. I had done several sketches and studies in the surrounding area and particularly wanted to capture the beauty of nature inclusive of the water and the ducks on the lake.
