Acrylic on 9 x 12 inch reinforced wood panel. Primed with red oxide. Limited palette. Varnished. The scene is from a photo of Mitchell Lake in Colorado by Robert Lindsey. It was wonderful to finally hike to this lake this summer and see it for myself -but then it is also very eerie to visit places where you have spent weeks trying to paint the scene. The camera simply won’t acknowledge the red oxide undertones on the mountain for some reason even in this newer shot of the painting.
