(In Studio – from a photo I took of my Uncle’s Pond)
Oil on Panel, 16 x 20 in

I’ve been doing more teaching – which means that while my student paints, I can too. It means I do things I’m not used to doing – such as painting from a picture. I lived with this beautiful water garden in my backyard for more than 15 years, never painted it (from life) once. That was dumb of me. I did take good pictures, however, and this one made a decent painting.
