Autumn on Lake Barcroft
"Autumn on Lake Barcroft"
(12 x 24, oil on canvas, Collection of Cynthia Wright, Nov 2008)
This painting is from photos I made in the Fall of 2007 while on a walk around Lake Barcroft in Fairfax County, VA. Creating reflections and gentle water movements were the big challenges. The colors are somewhat vibrant but not really embellished from the photos and actual viewing.
Interestingly I returned to this same site several years in a row and was not able to replicate the same spectacular fall colors. Some trees had lost their leaves while others were yet to change. For the photos I made -- thus this painting -- I guess I was at the right spot at the right time.
