I just finished a commissioned painting

I just finished this painting for a lady who purchased 2 of my paintings at Art Walk.  The 3 paintings together make a very nice group.

Rugged Tranquillity
12"x8" - SOLD
I really enjoyed doing this painting.  I started with a watercolour underpainting which helps get that soft, dreamy look.  Then I refined and resolved the painting with pastels, increasing the depth, colour and texture.

The scene itself comes from Cormorant Lake, Manitoba, where so many of my other pieces have started out.  I enjoy the texture in the rocks and the reflections.
