Big Red

Canoeing is a favorite activity on Lake Martin.  It is such a peaceful scenic way to enjoy the water. We like to sit on our front porch and watch families and children on their journeys.

 It was fun to capture the reflection of this vintage canoe.  Big Red is available at The Flower Store in Auburn.

Day #6

                                                                   5 x 7 oil on board  

I utilized a technique called pointillism to achieve the shimmer in the water on this painting.  It is a neo-impressionist principle in which small dots of pure color are juxtaposed side by side to achieve the desired colors.  The viewer's eye then does the blending.
