Along the Susquehanna in April

In April of this year I had several occasions to travel along the Susquehanna River in central Pennsylvania.  What a mighty and awesome river.  I made color notes and sketches and am now starting to work on a series of paintings from these April days.  

As I have posted before, I am working first in watercolor washes as underpaintings then will rework each painting in my custom manufactured encaustic paint.  These are the first 5 of what will be a 15 painting series capturing April days along the mighty Susquehanna from Milton, Pennsylvania south to Holtwood and Susquehannock.
