        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.

            Beautiful reflections and love those ripples!

            I like this picture very much. I like the placement and accurate drawing of the loons. Gary

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

                            Painting this was a challenge and gave me respect for people who paint on commission. 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.

                                        Peaceful, watery, and still, with a far-north feel. 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!
