Lakeside Rhythm : I wanted to focus on design, even en plein air. This is always tricky, because time is limited. So I tried to simplify. A strip of sunset across the path becomes a strip of yellow. The riot of trees through which the water sparkles becomes one or two shapes. To do this in limited time, it is so important to get your value sketch working before you get into the paint.
Lakeside Rhythm is 12x16", oil on canvas.
