Reflections of a Mountain Stream

This painting was done during the Plein Air Invitational in the Adirondacks at the Gun Club in Saranac Lake. There were 100 painters set up on the lawn and I decided to hike up a hill to get a better view and have a quiet spot. I chose a wide format to capture the mountain range and reflection in the water. There was some weather coming in so I painted this fast with a palette knife to capture the scene. I stained the canvas a warm tone and let areas peak through. Glints of light.
