oil on canvas 12X16
reference photo
Mosquito Lake is a beautiful lake up in Northern California on the way to Lake Tahoe. The lake is on Ebbetts Pass in the Sierra Nevadas at about 10,000 ft. elevation (Alpine County). It is one of our favorite day trip destinations. It seems that every time we go there, the water is perfectly still and makes for perfect photos! I have been meaning to paint this for months and finally got to it. I am working on it in my painting class and should be done with it this week. I have to add some more details and glaze in some more darks at the shoreline, but it is almost finished. When it is completed, I will post some photos of the start-to-finish progress.
Oh my gosh, Sheryl, this is so beautiful! I had to look twice, because I thought they were both photos! Love your oil work.
ReplyDeleteSheryl, this is so pretty! I'd love to splash my feet in it, especially since we're already in the nineties down here.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Maria! I try to divide my painting time between oils and watercolors, with an occasional acrylic thrown in!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Candy! We have had a few 90's but it is cooler this week- I prefer the 70's!
I really like your landscape and can't wait to see your update.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ann!
ReplyDeleteVery tranquil scene Sheryl. I could use a day trip like that myself. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding work, Sheryl!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful xx
and yes, this morning I am all back on *yippee*
Thank you, Dora- lucky for you, NY is full of great spots!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat! Glad you are back on!
I too thought I was looking at two photos of the same subject. The painting is terrific.
ReplyDeleteWow! so much looking forward to seeing this posted start to finish, it looks quite amazing on the easel!
ReplyDeleteThanks, LW- almost done!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Suzanne- now to get back to it and finish, sometimes I get distracted!
