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.
