Beaver's Bend

Since I seem to be on a water theme, I thought I'd post my other completed water paintings. I was visitng Beaver's Bend in southeastern Oklahoma last year and found it quite different from other parts of the state. Sitting on a balcony, drinking coffee on a rainy, misty morning was one of those perfect moments that stays with you. In this painting, I was trying to capture the feeling of the storm remnants with the sun trying to break through. This was challenging and I will continue to paint this lake - and others - always trying to get the feeling of the water and its reflections under many conditions.
