PATH TO THE LAKE

 

I started this smaller work when we still lived in the old house. This view at the bottom of the hill looking east was one we would see during our usual evening walk down to the lake. There we would watch the return of hundreds of geese as they came in to roost for the night - along with a few ducks. Lately I found this small work again and decided that it still needed a little work. So after an hour or so gently modifying some of the tones and adding a bit more color to the sky, I declared it finished. This is an oil on canvas, 7 x 7 in (18 x 18 cm).
