As the world goes mad, it just seemed like the right time to work on a totally soothing image. This idyllic scene from a visit to my sister’s home area near Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks was the perfect choice. She knows the best spots!
It had all the right elements…rich color, gorgeous mesmerizing reflections and a global rock that seemed otherworldly.
I decided to start with the blue undertones. The tree on the right had an almost ghost like quality and pointed towards the magical rock, reminiscent of the sorcerer’s apprentice in the old Disney film.
Layer by layer, like fine pieces of lace, I added the branches and patterns of needles to the trees.
And then, for the final element I concentrated on the stone and the reflections. Nature can be so elegant.
