Like many of my recent canvases, this started as something completely different, and then the lake popped out at me one day after I had put it aside and let it sit for a bit. It had more red and yellow originally, but it didn’t seem pleased with that; the colors just sort of sat there, mumbling unintelligible swear words at each other, so I removed those colors and everybody was happier. As with a lot of my ”landscapes”, it is what you see in it, and for me it’s memories of the 4th of July at the Lake. And that is all I’m going to say about that…
