It is a beautiful place, with lovely gardens, great views of the Chemong Lake and a peaceful atmosphere.
After spending most of the morning taking reference photographs and doing quick sketches of many things that I wanted to paint at a later time I settled at a large table in a sheltered spot and decided that I would paint the view in front of me of the lake.
With using a half sheet of watercolour paper and knowing how quickly the paint would dry in the warm weather I was going to make some changes to the scene and keep things fairly simple.
Using large brushes and three colours French ultramarine blue, burnt sienna and raw sienna, I changed the afternoon scene into a sunset where the sun has just gone below the horizon but the lovely orange glow remains on the clouds.
This original 15" x 22" watercolour painting when framed will be available for $395.00. SOLD
Thank you for taking the time to view my artwork and I hope you will return often to see the postings.
