I finally finished this one in a way that works for me. Mirror Lake at Lake Placid, NY.
At The Water’s Edge, Oil on Gesso Board, 11” x 14”, 27.94 x 35.56

I train myself by employing a method of discipline by painting very small. There is no room for extraneous brushstrokes and the composition has to be exact. Let’s call this “Small Apple,Big On Red.”
Oil, 21/2” x 3”, 6.35 cm × 7.62 cm

Making a little progress. The aerial perspective on this one is so important to get right so I don’t want to mess it up. I’m loving the process, colors, values and development of this beautiful place, like being there again

It’s just an idea right now, very abstract in my thinking and execution. I love this stage because it allows me to compose, developing correct. I’m only working in values.

Created another new mini today. Little painting but hoping it makes someone smile. It’s the little ones that are hard to pull off.

I started a new mini today. A good start. At least I found some motivation. Flowers and texture are always a good muse.
