The Lake

"The Lake"
8 x 10

So another goal of 2018 is to paint more original work and to use what I have learned from recreating Monets. I found this to be particularly difficult last year and am hoping I can find a way for it to transfer over. I want to be known for my own work at some stage, and the only way to do that is to actually paint things that are not derivatives of another's work.

So here we go. The first true original of the year. I used a photo reference I took myself, and pushed myself to implement my 'Monet style'. I'm pretty happy with it! This is of a beautiful little lake up in northern Vermont called Harvey's Lake. Great place for kiddos to learn to swim!
