This is one of the many lakeside views we get to enjoy everyday.   Since our lake does not allow gas powered motors, there are plenty of battery powered pontoon boats.  No pollution and no noise!  I feel it captures the peaceful serenity which is so relaxing and inviting here in Pines Lake.

Sitting out on our dock one beautiful day, I decided to try my hand at watercolors. 

This is our neighbors pontoon boat.  Not the view I would have liked, but it still worked.  I especially like the red canoe against the green.

This was small study of Pines Lake.  I wanted to do a painting for an online challenge of primary colors and this worked out perfectly with these being the actual colors of the boats across the lake! 

 

 

End of Summer

At the end of Summer there is a quiet stillness in the air around Pines Lake. 

The air is cooler, kids go back to school, and summer vacations are fond memories. 

Soon the trees will turn brilliant shades of red and gold. 

 

This is the view from our backyard and today I felt compelled to capture it on canvas. Perhaps when the trees are bare and the ground is frozen, this will be a warm reminder of summers past.
