Starting up a big one!

This painting is 30 x 40, the largest one I've done

in a while. It requires a LOT of standing back to

assess the effects I'm creating. This is a scene of

the lake behind my studio. I am still incredulous

about the actual occurence of violet in the water,

but it really was there. So stay tuned for the coming

installments. I think it is interesting to see how

artists develop their work and I hope you find it so

as well. This is the first go in one session after the

drawing underneath.
