Dewey Lake Inlet 9x12 Oil
This was a long winter, but before the snow hit we took a weekend trip to Jenny Wiley State Park in Eastern Kentucky. One of its virtues is Dewey Lake, created by a dam which backed up water into the steep, narrow valleys which characterize the area. Most of the western side of the lake is accessible by car or hiking trail. In early December the water was low, exposing the many streams and springs which feed the lake.
A couple of days ago I was reviewing the photos and was attracted to some of them. In making this painting I simplified the scene but played with color and added some forground shadow to lead the eye to the background.
Love the "winter feel" of this painting Dan. Wonderful starkness to it.
