| Cavern at Japanese Garden |
This painting was begun in Canandaigua, New York, and it never quite grabbed me. It was a gray, overcast day, and true to plein air, it was an accurate representation of the bleak feel. I put it back on the easel and took a look at the pictures from that original day. Fortunately, I found a sunny shot of the same scene. There was significantly more yellow and deep red undertones. Within an hour, the gray day was transformed into a sunny June day. The waterfall was now visible pouring over the cavern boulders. I believe the gloom is gone, replaced with a scene that is almost sparkly.
