Big Lake

I painted this about two weeks after I came back from the Badlands trip. There is one painting between this one and the previous post, but it's unfinished as I had to cut that session short. I plan to finish it from reference photos the next time there's bad weather on Painting Day.

This was painted at Lois Hole Centennial Park in St. Albert. It was a lovely (if hot) day and I set up at one of the picnic tables.

The trail there is very busy and few people stopped to chat, including a painter who knew some of the ladies who had been at the Badlands workshop. I also saw a great blue heron while I was out there, so the trip was a great success.
