Another scene from Big Bear Lake today. I thought it would be fun to try a really narrow format (and it was). Not sure I'm happy with the painting itself - the shape of the tree bothers me...it's too symmetrical and breaks the space into halves right around the middle. It could be because I painted this in-between cooking dinner, changing diapers, being a toy conflict mediator, and trying to not let my daughter eat the freshly-squeezed cobalt blue from my palette. Not fun. I am definitely not one of those supermoms, efficient, multitasking, and happy to be in the middle of everything. I need my space and my time. I get crabby when I don't get them, which is most of the time these days...
