Solstice at the lake

The weather has really warmed up now! Saturday, the 20th, we were camping and it was a warm, bright night. We went for a bike ride with friends around the campground and I think it was close to midnight when we went to the beach. If I had thought of it then I would have been more observant, but yesterday I used my imagination to do a quick painting with Twisted Brush of the lake that night.

Fruit and Crystal

Camping season has started, and gardening season, both of which get in the way of my painting time so I haven't been as productive lately.

We took the camper to the lake on the May long weekend to park it on the site we got for the summer. It snowed that day, but we thought we better take it up in the snow instead of the mud and we got it up there just in time.

We didn't stay that night but went back the next day and all the snow was gone. We have gone up there a few times and the nights have been pretty cold, but there have been no mosquitoes.

I did get a new painting done recently, Fruit and Crystal. I was scared to start on this one because of the bowl, but I convinced myself to relax with it and I got it done. You can see it here.
