"Lakeside Heaven"
A couple of years back, far up at the end of a mountain road, I watched the sun rise up and shine into the valley I was in. The light crested the ridge and illuminated the distant rocks along the horizon. Against the blue of the atmosphere, it created the perfect balance of colors. There were ponds and backwater all along the valley's floor, which gave me the inspiration for the water.
I'm in search of something more this year. I've become increasingly focused on observing our relationship with the landscape and, of course, the wildlife as well.
I love being out on the water with a paddle in hand. Drifting along on a crisp, calm morning is something I could dream about, and I think I wanted this canoer to steal your attention in this painting.
If I were to sum up what I was thinking about on that perfect morning while deep in that canyon, I think that this painting would be it. The cool air is cut by the warmth of a fire, the sound of wingbeats hum above, and the welcoming feeling of a lakeside #cabin puts my mind at ease.
When I look into this painting, I almost see myself in it. This piece represents a strong desire of mine, born through imagination.
Specifics:
30x40" oil painting - canvas panel w/wood frame backing (Approx 2" thick)
I paint the sides to match the painting (the painting is extended to the sides) and it is ready to hang as is or can be custom framed.
This painting comes with a certificate of authenticity which is also documented in a hard copy catalog of original paintings. This catalog is in the possession of myself, the artist.
I personally guarantee that this painting will last for many years to come. I use nothing but the highest grade archival materials in creating and framing this artwork to ensure that this painting is ready to withstand the ages. If you have any questions about this painting or any concerns please feel free to contact me.
