A Plein Air Painting




"Energy Lake"

Golden Pond, KY

9 x 12 Oil on canvas plein air

I took a short practice run in my (new to me)rv last weekend to a spot at Land Between the Lakes, KY. I enjoyed getting out and painting. It was a very quiet, peaceful place, and soothing to be near the water. This painting was completed on site. I have another that I got about 3/4 done, then accidently tipped over my thinner/brush cleaner and had to carry all my stuff back to camp. I will post that one when it is finished.

This painting will be hanging inside the gate-house at the entrance to the Energy Lake campground.

  8. Sunny ~ so happy to see you picked up the paint brush! {{HUGS}} I tried emailing you but my pc is so screwed up again I couldn't get things to work right. Hang in there girl and let that paint brush slap the canvas when it needs to:)
