Lakeside Poplars 8"x 10"

I wish I had been able to do a little better with this but now that I am painting more often I'm hopeful for progress.  I do like the composition real well--the amount of light and dark.
I was at the Lowell Bridge where I had heard people had been painting.  It was an awfully public place and I didn't want to stand down on the walk way and paint the bridge but I liked this scene looking north.  There is a view of the road just to the right of this scene that I would like to try another time.
