This is one of my in-process paintings.
I am using a combination of three pictures to create this one painting.
I feel like it is telling a story.
I like the look of the water and sky,
but I need to really work on the trees and obscure the buildings a little more.
This Random Lake is 10 minutes away from where I live.
I love this lake.
We go swimming here all summer.
You can catch some really nice large and small mouth bass,
and we have seen people catch and release musky.
I can’t wait to finish this painting.
I’m not a fast painter
I work in oils, so I need time in-between for my painting to dry
so, I usually have a lot of paintings going at one time.

Watching the rain is as beautiful as watching the sunset or the sunrise and it is even better because in addition to watching you can also listen to it, the fantastic music of the drop sounds!
