My Secret Fishing Hole

This impressionistic oil painting is of a secret little lake that I like to go fishing on when I have some extra time in the summer. There isn't one house located on this lake which is probably why the fishing is pretty good.

I often like to go for a ride out in the country during the fall color season and take pictures with my camera. I took this picture in the fall of 2004 just before the colors started peaking. I liked the rich blues in the sky and reflections in the water so much that I decided to create a painting of this waterscape.

When I look at it, I can almost hear how quiet it is on this lake.
