Lake 22 Trail

With the fall weather comes cloudy days and rain. This hike was on a day where it was very dreary as you can tell from the lighting in this capture. None the less, the forest is beautiful regardless of the weather. This capture on the Lake 22 trail is located near Granite Falls, Washington and has an elevation gain of about 1500 feet that brings you up to a lake. I thought that this scene was a change of pace with the water flow and dreary skies.

Thoughts? As I have said before, everyone reacts to visual art techniques and looks differently, so I am not in the least offended by opinions.

Abstract Watercolor

Since abstract art prints are not just limited to oil paintings, I wanted to share a couple of new prints I just added to my Abstract Watercolor Gallery. The first one is title “Red Sunset”.  The painting is inspired by a sunset over the Pacific Ocean from the coastal hills of North San Diego County. I really went strong on the red because that particular sunset was such a vibrant display of color.

I also wanted to share the next painting titled: “Bare Branches”.

This particular painting was inspired by bare tree branches along the Cedar River in Cedar Rapids, Iowa mid February. The angular abstract shaping of the tree branches emphasizes the bareness and the purple creates a strong back drop and introduces the thought of temperature (cold).  I invite you to look at the rest of the gallery and would love any feedback….Thanks!
