Lakeside Stroll

Lakeside Stroll - oil on panel - 6x8 inch
A stroll by the lake one bright crisp afternoon in early spring seemed to fit the 'Sunny Ways' theme I'm working on in this 30 in 30 challenge.  Click to see other entries in this challenge, there are hundreds!
This little painting is inspired by a snap I took of my daughter Rachel with her dog Asha.  I worked from a black and white photo and tried a blue/orange split complimentary palette.

I like to paint the 30/30 challenge paintings first thing in the morning if I can...in my jammie's while my energy is fresh.

    This is beautiful Sally! I'm very impressed that you were working from a black and white photo as your colours sing with vibrancy.
    Good on you for getting on to the paintings first thing. I have been trying to do that but right now I am putting it off by checking out everyone else's blogs first. At least I have my subject matter in mind. Good luck with day 4!

      Laurie, I think this is one of the nicest things about doing the challenge is the opportunity to be introduced to work that I have not seen before. Yours caught my eye immediately and I was delighted when I clicked back to see your other work, I will be following your work in the future. thanks for visiting!
