Early this morning I drove up to this nearby lake and completed this scene. It's idyllic spot for boating and bathing, but not a soul stirred in the early hours.
This painting is a commission. It has proven a very challenging project, and has taken a good deal of time.
I generally like to work faster, but one advantage to a work that has taken eons, is that one receives interesting feedback over time, from people who happen to observe it in the studio. I enjoy hearing different interpretations, and they can be inspiring.
