Folsom Lake #2 7x7
This is a view of Folsom Lake from the top of Auburn Folsom Road. The lake is very low right now and shows ups as only a slight sliver from this vantage point. The haze was fun to paint.
I am an artist living in Northern California. In 1993 I graduated from
U.C. Davis where I took classes from Wayne Thiebaud, Dave Hollowell and Roy DeForest. I currently teach art at Chana High School in Auburn California. On this blog I have posted 1000 paintings in as many days. Lately I have not been as strict with my painting schedule although I still update this blog regularly. I want to do some larger paintings that may take me more than a day to complete. Unless marked otherwise, these paintings are for sale. Please direct all purchase enquiries to Elliot Fouts Gallery. If you are unsure about the availability of a painting, please don’t hesitate to email me.

I love the transitions in this one, from high-chroma green to grey-green, then fading into blue. It really gives it a sense of depth and atmosphere.
Thanks Leslie!
Agree with Leslie on this painting....such wonderful depth and atmosphere!
