After painting Watson Lake in oil en plein air, I wanted to try painting it in the studio, using the plein air as a guide, and do a larger painting. This is 14 x 18 on a stretched canvas. I haven't painted on a surface like this in a very, very long time. Painting large was different too. I had to allow more time and mix bigger piles of paint and use bigger brushes. I only worked on it two days. I now realize I was using my plein air Alkyd medium. I don't have a regular medium right now. So, it dried overnight. So, it was a little different. But, it was fun, and I'll do it again.

Nice work Carolyn! Very inspiring!
Thanks Ida!
Hello, dear Carolyn! :)
I enjoyed so much the landscape you painted! It is breathing! I kind of leaned over this place and saw branches in the lake. This color of water I saw in the forest where I was born, there is thickets of the forest, and the lake is not very deep :)
I love it so much! I even can noy imagine, how much of work there! Waiting your new big paintings! :)
Inspiration and fantastic mood in weekend! ;)
(I am going to my lake today!)
Parabéns, lindas telas em óleo.
