The Boathouse, Lake of the Woods, Ontario
Oil on Canvasboard, 16 x 20 in

I painted this inside the boathouse on a sunny, windy day outside. Like the one below, it was a sketch I tried just to get back into the painting way of processing. What was dumb was that it was so bright out and dark in that I couldn’t see my colours properly. It was frustrating but I had to choose either to give it up & waste the paint or see it through. I chose the latter. My fixation was on the colours I was trying to blend, the drawing & perspective were not important as is apparent.
