My muse is back! "Where have you been?" I asked her. She's not talking about it... maybe she was in Vegas...?

So this landscape painter is back at work. Uh, and now the weather is overcast at the coast! Yikes. With gas prices so high I'm trying to consolidate trips to various locations and have specific spots in mind before the trip starts. In the old days of gas prices that started with a $3 I would simply get in the car and wander about looking for something to speak to me. Can't be that wasteful right now... no way I can afford that!

So here's my first post-muse-vacation painting based on a sketch I did a  while back at Lake Skinner. Clear morning light was what I was after:) Hope I got it.

"Lake Skinner Morning", 6 by 8 inches, oil on canvas on panel. Available: $250
