What a glorious time I've had painting at the Bridal Cave in Camdenton, Missouri! From the plein air painting inside the Chapel of the cave, to painting this beautiful sweep of the Lake of the Ozarks from the covered overlook just outside the cave entrance, this place will forever hold good memories for me! As with any body of water, the lake changes color with the sun and sky. What started as overcast has opened up to a sunny, hot day - and that reflects in the water! I painted my masses first, lights and darks followed by the central colors, then added the smaller details such as boats and docks. If was very comfortable painting under this covered overhang, with water cooled breezes blowing through. It has been so fun to visit with guests as they wait for their tour guide while painting the beauty of this lake! This painting won a ribbon at the Lake of the Ozarks Plein Air event and is now showing at Lake Fine Art Galleria in Osage Beach. Painting number 3140 in 3140 days.
