There are so many scenes available to paint at Lloyd Park [SW of Calgary]. None are quite as tempting as this gnarly spruce tree which imposes itself in the foreground of many views. It’s an interesting contrast to all the horizontals in the rest of the land/lakescape. I struggled with the shapes in the background and although this was painted 90% on site last Saturday, I puttered a bit with it at home as well. I can see that it’s important not to overdo the studio putzing… the freshness needs to be retained. Looking forward to more plein air this weekend at Leighton Centre! Have a great day!
