To Lake Ontario

Another gorgeous late June Day. About 5 miles north of Lake Ontario...looking south. Acrylic and pencil on unprimed single ply archival matteboard 9 x 9.5 inches. Listed on Etsy today and sold half an hour later. I like how this one turned out. The diagram for it was more sketchy and general than normal, but I had a strong memory of the scene. It's very improvised.....almost more drawing than painting. This one felt different....and I look for the differences and shifts in my procedure because they very much keep me going and interested.

A few minutes of concentrated drawing engrains the memory, likely forever. I still remember fragments, smells, the quality of the air, surrounding sounds, when I look at drawings and paintings I made on location years ago. In this case, I parked in a little path leading to this field. A little thicket was to my left, with insects buzzing in it, the leaves already bright with autumn......the sunshine was warm on a peaceful mid afternoon in late September.

A collage painting made on a breezy, fresh September afternoon.....Lake Ontario was just a touch to my south.

This was the first painting on the more textured watercolour paper that I'm trying to use up. The morning was way more hazy than this......a very pleasant, windy morning.
