Sycamore in a Nor'easter

A Nor'easter is hammering the eastern seaboard this weekend, and while central Maryland is simply soggy and breezy, other places, such as New Jersey, have been hit harder. This storm became an inspiration for a painting. Here we see a huge, old sycamore up close as it withstands the rain and wind of a typical autumn storm. This scene is set later in the season, once the trees have started turning colors, but the gloomy light is still accurate to how it's been since Friday around here.
