Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge

One of the items for the Creative Spark scavenger hunt recently was a landscape. I headed over to the Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge in Shirley and sketched some of the woods there.

 

Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge

I wandered over to Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge in Shirley the other day still looking for snowy scenes. The golden grasses and trees that still had some leaves gave this a little contrast.

Nature Walk

The other day I headed over to the Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge in Shirley. I wanted someplace where I could sit in my car and see something. With the leaves off the trees it was possible to see a little of the Carmans River in this painting. Yes, some walkers actually came by so I sketched them quickly before they disappeared behind the trees. This is 5  x7.

The Bridge

Before going to the beach yesterday for most of the day, I went to the Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge in Shirley to do a little sketching. I like this view of the bridge and the kayakers provided a bit of color under the arch. This is 5 x 7.

The Bridge

On Sunday I went to the WertheimNational Wildlife Refuge in Shirley. They redid the visitor's center and moved the entrance since I was there last. I was hoping I could find the trail that would take me to this view which you could see as you entered the refuge from the old entrance. It wasn't in a convenient spot where you could sit and paint it before, but now the road isn't used by the public so it was safe to sit on the little bridge and paint this view from it. This is 5 x 7.
