Clear Lake IV - A Work in Progress

The temperature is hot 93F (34C) and with the humidity it feels like 109F (43C).

Even though the Meteorological Report from Environment Canada was sending out severe thunderstorm warnings, high wind warnings and hail warnings all we received was a sprinkle of rain. It wasn't even enough to dampen the dust on the driveway.

I pulled this drawing out that I had started a number of years ago (see post on 09 June 2013).











First I put in  the rocks and the shadows on them and then I added in the water ripples.

I started to put in some bull rushes before I ran out of time and had to leave it to finish on another day.

Thank you for coming to look at my artwork and I hope you will return often.

Long Shadows 1-3

Looking out the window at the long cast shadows from the trees running across the snow on the front lawn I thought I should take some photographs and do a few sketches as reference drawing for future paintings.















Long Shadows 1

For the first drawing I used the two maple trees on either side of the front gate and ran the shadows along the snow.














Long Shadows 2

For the second drawing I used the maple tree and some of the young beech trees along the north section of the track.














Long Shadows 3

For my last drawing I did the house from the road side of the front gate looking down the driveway toward the house.
