Yesterday's weather broke into triple digits and was registered as the highest temperature ever on the west side of Washington State. At 103 cooling off was on everyone's mind. I focused my efforts by painting the reflection of this old vessel. It kept my mind off the heat and was a feast of color with the contrasting warm reds and cool blues. The painting is 8x10 inches on a hardboard panel. As the heat continues today, I'm contemplating painting this scene again in a much larger version. If I get it big enough, maybe I can just jump into the picture and enjoy the cool of that sparkling water.Technorati tags:

I love the reflections!
I love the strong color and dramatic composition in this painting Nancy! It's really stunning!
Thanks so much for the kind words. This was one of those paintings where I turned the photo upside down while I painted--so many odd shapes and colors. Glad you like it--glad it turned out well!
