Docked
Kangaroo Lake, Wisconsin
Oil on panel, 8x10 |
Visiting near the dock across from our lodging, this picturesque scene instantly caught my attention. The water was calm on Kangaroo Lake, as I started taking photos. Light rippled off the water as the reflections of the boat and dock danced on it's surface. The water is so peaceful, so tranquil. It beckons for me to sit at it's edge, relaxing as it laps at the bank. I love the sounds of the water, always a peaceful painting companion. I used a panel that had a more porous surface than usual. It really soaked up the paint as I worked, and the blending was made more difficult. I am playing with the light on boat, dock and water here, showing movement by bouncing it around the painting. This was a fun one to paint after a very hectic day. Just painting this scene, helped me to unwind. This is painting number 210 in as many days. Tomorrow my parents are coming for a good, long visit!
