Day 5 (30-in-30)

Soo... I am now one sixth of the way through the challenge.  With 25 paintings to go, I found myself thinking "what was I thinking" (PS - I also have a day job!).  I guess it's called a challenge for a reason.  Complaining aside, painting daily has been quite refreshing once I actually get myself to the easel.  And so, I will continue...

Todays painting is based on yet another scene from northern Ontario near my parents cabin (on a lake known as Moose Lake).  I used a limited palette of titanium white, ultramarine violet, dioxazine purple, and permanent green light (Golden Acrylics).  While not quite compliment colours, I love the neutrals created by the purples and permanent green light. Very calming.
