"Water's Edge", 12" x 16", oil on canvas, Lydia Johnston
Recently I have been working on painting water. I have a large 36" x 48" painting started last fall of a lake with ridges behind. Most of the painting is complete, but I have felt the water still needs to be developed more. So I have been painting a number of smaller canvases experimenting with different techniques for portraying the sense of water in ponds and lakes, the flatness, the reflections, the ripples, the glassiness.
Here is the first of this group of water paintings, a small study of trees surrounding a vernal pool.
