Jordan Lake Light Show

Jordan Lake light show...from my reference photo taken on an April evening. There were very ominous storm clouds just south of here but the sunset had this lovely promise of light. It wasn't clear where the sun was. It was as though it was trying some new ways of making rainbows. 

On a technical note, this painting is watercolor on watercolor canvas, which is new for me. Very different handling from any paper! Guess I'm exploring new ways of making rainbows, too!

Geese on the Pond

A pair of Canadian Geese who seemed the dominant residents at a small water retention pond, although a solitary Great Blue Heron and pair of Mallard ducks were present. This pair stayed close together and kept a close eye on me. The reference was a photo I took in the early spring, so it'll be interesting to go back and see who's there now. 

Done for the Daily Paintworks "critter" challenge. Just a little behind on those!
