Day 9 of Thirty Paintings in  Thirty Days, September 2017 Challenge

We found Buttermilk Falls in October a few years ago. It's not far off the road near Long Lake, NY, although it takes some climbing down to the riverside to see this view. We enjoyed our day there relaxing, painting, and photographing the falls. If you're in the area, the trip would not be complete without a visit to Hoss's Country Store that has just a bit of everything one would need in the Adirondacks! 

The day we were there, it was quiet, perfect fall day with no other visitors. I was able to get comfortable on the rocks, and do some sketching. I could paint these falls many times and it would still bring back the memories of that day.

Here's a few progress shots of the method that I used for this painting.
