PAINTING:
This oil has many layers of thick color applied with palette knife and took a very long time to finally complete. I have a lot of beautiful broken colors in this piece and even the pines have many layers of multiple colors in bark and backlit sky.
INSPIRATION:
I grew up in Tahoe and have to say I took its beauty for granted as kids will do, but remember it vividly. When I visit it brings tears to my eyes, it really is that awsome. This lake is very deep, and very clear blue and icy cold! We would swim until we were blue and then roll in the warm sand all summer long.
