There’s some reflection in this photo that dulls the subtlety of the clouds and sky, which is unfortunate as they really set the tone for the entire painting. Will retake. However, this is another step in the right direction. After being at my beautiful lake, then coming back to what feels like captivity, with all these trees everywhere hemming me in, I felt a lot of pathos for that still, deep green quarry pool – sitting so close and yet so far away from the wild wide ocean beyond.
