Franklin club painting complete

I thoroughly enjoyed completing this 18 x 24 inch landscape.  I had the opportunity to visit this site many times during this summer.  I began this piece by sketching many different compositions while sitting at the banks of this lake.  In the studio I used this information as well as reference photos to complete this piece.  I wanted this piece to feel warm and so I primed the  canvas with a mixture of  bright yellow and rubine red. The image unfolded as I placed layer after layer of paint.
