Indian Lake Outing
We painted yesterday evening at Indian Lake and it seemed like a mid-summer day already. I did a twilight painting and then tried to do a nocturne. I knew a full moon was about but it wasn't where I wanted it to be and was covered by clouds. I started the nocturne anyway. Intending to throw in an invented moon, but once it got darker and I turned my easel lights on, the mosquitos attacked me in swarms and I had to give it up. But I'm still posting what I completed of the nocturne and hope to somehow complete it later. The new shelter at Indian Lake is quite nice with good painting views, a firepit, and new rest rooms. Might be a good spot for a plein air painters party at a later date.

Fun night. I wish I could have seen the second one completed. :) It was going to be nice if it kept this feel.
ReplyDeleteThese look good, Tom. I really like the nocturne start. That could develop into a nice painting! Bummer about the mozzies. They are making plein air a real challenge this year!
ReplyDeleteI really like the top one which looks even better in real life. Lots of fun painting last night and great to see everyone.
ReplyDeleteTom, I really like the nocturne. I wouldn't even touch it again (you'll have to invent and, probably, break the magic of the moment feel) and leave as a beautiful etude!
ReplyDeleteoh that nocturne is so beautiful! I hope you left it that way, its quite perfect!
