Lake Crescent, Miniature

Check out this little bastard! It was one of those paintings that painted itself. Some paintings seem to just flow like magic while others fight for it. My friend Ginny came over to paint with me yesterday and the painting just emerged. It is a 9×12 on a panel, the name is “Crescent Lake,” the unframed price is $175. The subject is a beautiful glacial lake in Olympic National Park, captured one evening in October as the sun was setting. My friend Melissa and I were returning from the coast and I almost wrecked the minivan in the process of pulling over when I saw the light on the lake.

Among my other works in progress now I am hoping to work on a small series of miniatures about this size. I’m thinking birds and landscapes alternating for a small installation.

The murder continues–it is on the verge of being genius or being overworked, once again it is hard to tell. (“Murder in Progress,” my previous post involving a painting of crows.) I will show and tell when it is finally done.

Happy Holidays!
