#2422 "Holiday July Cirrus Sunset"


This low level water view from the kayak was looking northwest across what I call Point Paradise. The western shore of Singleton Lake is on the far horizon. One trailer on the south side of the campground always keeps a bright light on. I included that bright, eye-stabbling light along that darkened shoreline. Our shore of Singleton is typically dark at night so that we can enjoy the stars. The intrusions of humans on nature comes in all forms. The stroke of my paddle in the lake did not leave a mark behind to show that I was ever there. This oil memory is the only trace of that evening paddle with the reflections of the sunset and the waves. . 

This is a memory from 8:45 pm Friday July 28th, 2017 paddling at sunset and enjoying the fair weather cirrus in the sky. This sunset was before the virus and the pandemic of 2020. I was having fun with the oils and loosening up after working on several architectural scenes in the studio. COVID isolation has given me some time to paint. There is a red or silver lining to every cloud.
