I was going to paint this location last Friday but the
weather didn’t allow too much painting.
Yesterday wasn’t much better, overcast and cloudy with storms coming
around noon, but I figured I had nothing to lose.
Laughlin Mill
is a historic
mill located in Newville Pa, right outside of Carlisle. I initially found this gem online on www.ohiobarns.com while looking for local water mills and I’ll
probably go back to this site for years to come just to see what amazing
locations there are left to explore.
I am always drawn to water and, although I don’t fully
understand why, it seems to have a very relaxing and familiar quality to me. There are a few more mills and a lot of reference
photos to draw and paint.

ReplyDeleteGlad you left the people and cars out !!! lol!
Hope to see more... BJ
Thanks Barbra, you caught me on the cars and people although the angle didn't show a lot of cars or people. But there were a few people at the mill when I was setting up, but they were gone by the time I started sketching in the painting. I have a few paintings to post so I better start :).
