Holly Pond

Impressionistic oil painting on canvas

This is an impressionistic oil painting of a little pond during the fall color time of the year in Holly Michigan.  This painting was created from a picture that I acquired by a campgrounds that is located in the Holly area. I used a Canon Elan II with a 28 mm lens.

I was driving around in the countryside looking for good nature scenes to get pictures of for my paintings. The fall colors were really popping when I took this shot.  I love the water reflections doubling effect of the sky and land.    

One of the most enjoyable things about this painting for me is the rich fall colors in this oil painting. I was very lucky to have nature cooperate with me on my effort with this one. 

I am thinking about putting in a little bit more soft grass details in the waters edge foreground. I rarely ever change a painting after I sign and date it, but I think this one is just slightly a bit too minimal.  I think finishing it out just a little bit further will make it a better painting. 

If you think I should change this painting, then send me an email and tell me to go forward with the change.  email me
