Beavers had decided to dam up the little creek that runs through my property. I like ponds. And I like beavers. But this pond was threatening to flood my studio! A local beaver expert had been called to address the situation. It was a beautiful day for painting beaver dams, so I thrashed my way through the woods to give it a shot. About 15 minutes after I’d started painting, I could hear the man arrive to start work. And work he did, yanking out logs and throwing them onto the bank. Water began to drop quickly! I knew this view would not be here tomorrow, so I painted like the wind.
Here’s my setup:
