Dream Lake Original Oil Painting on Linen, 24" x 18"

Over five years ago (time flies!) I hiked up to Dream Lake with 20 Ibs of painting gear and had the most glorious afternoon painting plein air. The air was crisp, and the water was an immense teal so clear that fishing seemed a completely unfair endeavor. Truth is that I was more content in just watching a small trout dance along the shore than catching it. Lately, Dream Lake has been calling me.

"Dream Lake" is an original oil on Belgian linen, 24"x18" created in 2021, unframed. Add a little nature and authenticity to your space with this impactful and Rocky Mountain statement piece. Your new art comes with a certificate of authenticity, with a wax monogrammed stamp from my studio.
