A Breeze on the Water

A Breeze on the Water, 2024, oil on linen, 45.5 x 40.75 cm

In this painting I tried to suggest a breeze brushing over the water. One of the most interesting aspects of the lake is the variety of patterns that form over the water, and all depending on how the wind behaves. 

The brushstrokes vary also, and imitate what is happening on the surface of the lake. Long strokes for the calmer portions, and pointillist touches where the breeze ruffles the surface. 

This painting took about 8 sittings with very few touches in the studio.
