Paintings of Lake Mazinaw & Bon Echo
Here’s an update on the paintings I’ve been working on over the last few weeks. This first picture is of the first painting that I’ve done in a long, long time (bordering on ever territory).
For some reason the cliffs have been ‘red’ in my head all summer. At least from this vantage point. Over the last few weeks the cliffs, from a different viewpoint, have been ‘yellow’. Which is why I painted this second picture. I’d say its about 95% done at this point. Since we’re leaving tomorrow for quite some time its probably nearer to being 100% done as I won’t want to revisit it when I’m back (the different experiences will make it difficult to pick it back up).
Sadly, I don’t think that this photo does the Rock’s yellow/orange justice.

Those look wonderful!!! I love the rich color. The second is such a such happy/peaceful painting. I adore the way the green trees and the yellow cliffs pay off each other! I feel warm and fuzzy looking at them:)

Looks great, and it’s come a long way from the earlier version posted a few days back. The simplicity of the first one is really nice.
