The Mirror Lake - Acrylic painting

Here is a nice minimal painting where I used a small amount of metallic paint. I used the palette knife to create the mountains. You can see that it's like spreading butter on the bread.

The colors are very rich on this one. I think if I were to do this one today, I would tone it down a bit. I still think it has charm and creates a nice relaxing mood.

I'd like to know what the Steemit community thinks about this one. Too much color? Or is it bang on the money?

I really like it, very vibrant 🦋

You mentioned spreading butter and this came to kind.


Oddly satisfying.

Oh yeah! That was the best comment ever. Spread it around... When I use the knife, I just stick it and release creating cool textures. Great for making rocks.

You should record yourself painting. It would be fun to watch!

Hmm, you might be on to something. .

I'm full of ideas. 😊

Beautiful Painting, thanks for sharing it.

Thanks, your art is pretty amazing :)

Looks great! The colors are bright but I think what is catching your attention is the subtle coloring of the leaf and its large size relative to the perspective of the lake. It still works though!

Wow, you are probably the best judge as you see the real thing everyday!

Not as much as I would like :) You have been getting out for some good walks I see...a bit of en plein air action? Could be really cool...En plein air with James Smith Arts

This powerfull colours and the missing refection of the leaf gives the drawing a surreal touch. Do not get me wrong, i enjoy this painting!

great !!

very nice
