Mill Pond Twilight - Memory Painting

After coming home from the studio one night I drove by this scene and stopped my car right in the middle of the road. Twilight can be such a mesmerizing time. I made a small pen and ink sketch when I got home, then worked it up on canvas the next day from memory. I had to make several trips to this spot at dusk but none were as powerful an image as the first night.
