Lighthouse View
I started this one last week when my granddaughter, Kari, was visiting with us. She wanted to paint a picture for her mom's birthday. Her first attempt did not please her but instead of just letting it dry and painting over it she insisted on a fresh canvas. I think she was more satisfied with the second one. I did not finish my painting and we were pretty busy so I did not get back to this until today. I tried a couple of different things here, blurring the faraway hills with more blue, patches of plants instead of a uniform texture, adding a faraway lighthouse. The sky is blue and yet does not appear clear. Summer skies are often hazy over the lake. This is a lonely spot, no figures walking on the beach.
