This is one of those paintings that has been percolating
for a while, I have done a couple oil studies and sketches at this location.
And even though I have some good references I think the source of this painting
or concept has been painted in my head several times. I think anyone that
visits this spot and stands where I worked, would recognize the place from the
painting. However, this piece is more of a memory painting of several
experiences of this scene during the fall. I wanted to paint that crisp air of
early fall, the mood of the transitional season and hopefully the essence of
the land.
There are a lot of videos online about Kinkaid Lake, it's a big sport fishing destination. I found this interesting drone footage
video filmed at Kinkaid Lake Paul Ice boat ramps from Eric Ripley. His drone hovers
right over my painting spot and gives a great birds eye view of why this lake
is so popular.
