This is a plein air painting that I started on August 18 and finished today. Broadwater Pond is 4 miles up the trail from here. It seems to be nothing more than a wide spot in the river, but it is crystal clear and a wonderful turquoise color. Without seeing it these colors in person they are hard to believe.

Another fun painting. I can’t begin to say how much I enjoy painting these childhood memories. If you enjoy these two, check out their solo portraits, the November 3rd and 4th paintings.

I started this painting on the 8th, when it was very windy. The wind blows so hard here, it will actually pick the water up off the lake. Today the winds have picked up again, so I decided to finish it.

Autumn Love is a painting celebrating the mating rituals of moose. As part of their foreplay, the bull stands behind the cow, and then tips his head back so that his horns almost lay upon his back. He then snorts in, curling his upper lip back and rotates his head in an arch from left to right. It seems to be an endorphin inducing practice; the bull intoxicated.
I had the opportunity to sit in a canoe and photograph these two. He was definitely head over heels for this cow, but since she was limping she would have nothing to do with him and just turned and walked away.

I have been working on this painting for sometime now. I started reworking it this past summer in the lodge while working in the store. Last week I took it out for some more paint and then again today; I am finally satisfied with it.
