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 high school art in Placer County California. On this blog I have posted 1000 paintings in as many days. I took a break from that strict schedule for a couple of years but since the beginning of 2014 I have been completing one small painting on a daily basis. The practice of completing a painting a day suits my disposition and aesthetic. I have also found that modeling this sort of daily practice for my students is important. I am making these paintings available on ebay. Thanks for stopping by and check back often if you like what you see.

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!
