I went back to a park on the lake and was enchanted by the quietness in the scene. Â I also enjoyed the layers.

I loved the way the sunlight sparkled on the water and shone through the leaves of the tree while creating a silhouette of the lower bushes.
It was a dreary morning but this tree fascinated me.
The sun came out for this painting last May at the lake. Â I was interested in the subtle background mountains contrasting with the foreground tree.
I worked on emphasizing the underlying colors and played with texture in this image. Â It was a very windy day and I had to hold on to the easel to keep everything from being blown away!
A beautiful fall morning. Â I started this on location, but was blocked from finishing it on site.
The changing clouds of midday and a calm lake greeted me and my painting companion.
Turning at an angle on the beach, the same tranquil morning, a different line of wooden posts and the waves washing rhythmically on the shore. Â I was getting chilly, but was busy painting and only noticed when I had finished how cold I had become!

The sky was beautiful and the contrast and reflection made by the remains of the wooden posts interested me. Â It was a cold morning and I was bundled up to paint.

It was the type of beautiful relaxing evening that one might look for when traveling to the beach.  The beach was crowded as some finished their day of play and others came by to wait for sunset.
