Every year I go up north with friends to explore the freshwater lakes and wild woods of the beautiful Northwoods. This vast forested region stretches across a wide swath of the northern US and southern Canada. We travel to camp by canoe, hauling everything we need in large bags. This scene is what you look for in a great camp site – facing west for the sunset views and hopefully a breeze to blow the skeeters away. It’s always fun to have some rocks to muck about on, too.
Have you been there? I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
I forced myself to leave the sky more rough and gestural this time around. I tend to overwork paintings so much that they lose vitality. I often go back and look at my progress shots and shout, "Why didn't you just stop?!" In this painting I just forced myself to put the brush down. I let the painting be a painting.
