I started painting this during peek foliage October on location before reported incoming rain. The air was cool and clear as I worked. The clouds and light changed radically in the afternoon in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. I was lucky to have this day for this piece, although I would have liked more time on it. it rained and then snowed by late October in Waterville Valley and the foliage changed rapidly since this session, so I did not return to this
painting for A second session.
Osceola means -black drink- a ceremonial potion. Osceola was the name of a leader of the Seminole Indians in the Florida Everglades and had nothing to do with the White Mountains. It is believed that Nathaniel L. Goodrich, said in the History of Waterville Valley that both Mount Tecumseh and Mount Osceola were named by E.J. Connable of Jackson, Michigan, who came to Waterville Valley in 1859. The main mountain has two summits, East Peak and West Peak. Elevation is around 4,350 feet. Mount Osceola resides in Grafton County, New Hampshire and you can see this mountain from both Waterville Valley and the Kancamangus Pass. There are popular hiking trails to both summits. Websites have posted the mountain is in both the Appalachian and Sandwich
Mountain Ranges. The views from the summit are not 360 degrees, but still amazing at around 220 degrees of clear views of
Mount Washington in the Northeast and most of the rest of the
White Mountains. There used to be a fire lookout tower at the summit, but was removed in the 1970s.
