The Creation of Adam on the Olentangy.

This was painted with my buddies from Central Ohio Plein Air just off Taggart road in Columbus. Actually, this piece was actually painted in-studio from a 5x7" study from that morning. I could barely see through the thick foliage to the water, but I was determined, so I kept shifting side to side to capture my view. I really should have found a way down to the bank, but it was really steep and I was chicken—afraid of falling and not being able to get back up to the road, also snakes (thanks Mom). Maybe next time I could bring a rope and a fireman?
