"Peaceful Canyon Lake Powell" How to Paint Water Reflections - Watercolor painting step-by-step guide
I feel like I am catching on to it a little. With a nod to my hero David Drummond, I used a photo I shot near Bullfrog on Lake Powell and tried to capture the glassy undulating feel of the smooth water beneath the striated cliffs. I can almost hear the "plop" of my bass lure as I sling it near the rocks. I had this one framed with a knotty alder frame in a light stain, with ivory mats, and the whole package looks great. Maybe I ought to just keep this one. Ah, but it is going in the upcoming St. George Art Museum Canyon Country show in March. Click for painting information
