Tomorrow River Impression

I painted this today. It's a change from my normal style in an attempt to do an impressionist painting of the Tomorrow/Waupaca river. This is the first painting where I was happy with the results immediately when the painting was finished. (Scary, huh?)

I like the deep woods looking out to the sunlight feel to the painting and hope to paint similar scenes in the future.

I tried to work light against dark with the morning sun filtering in through the trees. It should be dry in time to be displayed for sale at the Waupaca Strawberry Fest on June 19. This is one I I would be happy hanging on my own living room wall, but I guess I can always paint another one...

Western Mountain Lake

This was painted on May 8, 2010. I was attempting to provide some contrasts in light
and color with painting "traditional" landscape items (distant mountains, lakes, trees, etc.).
