"A Quiet Place"
20x30
This is my latest studio work done from a field study I had painted 2 summers ago from the Lake Elmo Park reserve in MN. I'm very drawn to painting the lily ponds around the area I live and grew up, it feels really comfortable painting these areas and it's always challenging to explore them further. I love all the delicate degree of differences in the lily pads, and the reflections in these rich dark water holes.
