3 Sisters Clouds – 4"X4" acrylics on masonite. I tried to capture this amazing sunset we witnessed on the lake. The clouds formed 3 sisters mountain-like peaks above the horizon and the sky was on fire. So beautiful! I started painting one 4"X4" miniature daily on May 1st 2015. After a near fatal drowning experience in 2013, I realized just how precious life is and I wondered why I was waiting to do what I loved most. I just wasn't finding the time. It took a while to commi

Golden Moment – 4"X4" acrylics on masonite. Another painting of the sun setting on the lake. Both are very different originals... I strive to capture the light as it reflects off the water.

liquid Sunset – 4"X4" acrylic on masonite. This painting is now available in my online store. This is a study of a painting I did a few years ago. Only that painting was WAY bigger!

Water's Edge 4"X4" acrylics on linen. This painting is sold but feel free to browse my online store for other paintings. Today's painting is from a pic I took of my brother in his paddleboat. The sun was setting and it was so serene. I spent my childhood summers at the lake and water really resonates with me. All is calm. All is bright.

A Painting a Day #3 Lac la Nonne Sunset 4"X4" acrylics on linen I grew up at the lake as I spent every summer there in a lake-front cabin. The best part of the day was waking up to the morning sunrise as I peered out the window. The best part of the end of the day was the sun setting over the lake with the promise of tomorrow. #art #APAD #acrylics #painting #blog #APaintingaDay #water #lake #miniature #sunset #03 #landscape #notforsale
