Oil on Board, 18 x 24 in
Lake of the Woods

I worked on this painting from a combination of memory and photo. The picture was taken last summer when the devastating Alberta forest fires were raging and even as far east as Kenora, Ontario the skies were full of haze and smoke. It made everything a strange color, rich and dark. The sun was this glowing burn of light, I still don’t think I quite have the color right. But this is how it stands.
