More Mist


OK - so I seem to be in the mood to paint pictures of mist at the moment. This is an early morning view over a misty lake in the Adirondak mountains of New York. It is offered on the Spotlight thread of Wet Canvas this month as an exercise in cropping a photo to the satisfaction of the artist. However, rather than doing anything fancy, I chose to go with the landscape format because I wanted the maximum amount of mist in the frame. Photo by Don Ketchek.

Into the Mist - (again)


This is my second attempt at this picture. John has taken the original one to work and has it sitting on his credenza. He's thrilled with it. This time I painted it 16" x 20" and made it a little bit mistier that the first one. It's from a photo taken by someone with the Username Katfre in the reference image library on Wet Canvas.
