Cowpasture River Studies

Here are three little studies from this weekend at Camp Mont Shenandoah on the Cowpasture River near Goshen, Virginia. It was an artists retreat with 20 wonderful creative folks and a relaxing setting. I did two large paintings as well which need a bit more work on them, and I will post soon.
