This is a plein air painting I did in Abiquiu last May, but just recently added a few touches that time, wind, heat, bugs, etc. prevented me from doing "in situ". The beautiful thing about this lake is that if you only look at the lake and the surrounding rocks without the vistas, it looks very Mediterranean. Another one of God's little jokes.
This is another version of a smaller painting that I did a few years ago. I wanted to make it slightly larger and change the water colors a little. This little painting makes me feel relaxed and cool.
