Heading out on open water is always rewarding. That is a reference to paddling on one of the many ponds, lakes and rivers we have at our disposal. During the summer, the color of the water, abundant growth and greenery make me want to be out in the landscape.
Before Thanksgiving I started this painting on the backside of a watercolor I didn't care for. It has a fresh and light feel as the colors are inviting.
Most of this painting has been done with a rigger brush which provides this expressive line work and edge treatment. The canopy of growth above the view is unusual in landscape painting. It is usually cropped out or excluded. However, I feel it adds much to the scene.
