Here is a painting that I recently finished, a commission from my niece. Her husband grew up in the Adirondacks, and this lake is one of his favorite spots. They both love loons, so I added them from reference photos. It’s painted on a 24×30 gallery wrap canvas, much larger than I typically paint.

If a painting goes terribly awry, just call it a "study" and don't sweat it.

I was working from several photos and had to figure out how to include the loons. I was worried that they might look out of scale because the loons were very small in my photos. I had other photos where the scenery was nicer to me, but there was no place for the loons. Anyway, my niece loves it, so I guess it worked out.

I’ve been to upstate New York, but not that part of it, but it feels like what I’d expect to see. Wonderful job on the loons, too. I can only imagine the challenges in painting accurate animals.

Still much to paint and much to learn!
