Spring in Buckhorn State Park

Buckhorn State Park on Grand Island is a quiet wildlife preserve with wooded walks leading to the Niagara River, marshlands and meadows. The artists scattered in different directions, from the edge of the creek bed to the fisherman's landing.
It was a misty early Spring day and leaves had begun to sprout from some trees, while others held their buds tightly. There was little sun so the water reflections dominated any shadows the artists may have been looking for. The advantage of working plein air on overcast days is that colors and light remain the same longer, all of the artists were working with muted tones and captured the peace of the day with paint.
