Keuka Lake I: Monday morning

I bought five eight by ten canvases so that I could paint with a knife in oils every day, so I decided to start my first morning early on the porch of the Red Barn overlooking the lake. I painted this in about an hour and a half and I'd forgotten how quickly the light changes! Stay tuned for four more attempts to capture this view on different days and at different times each day.

Some of my tubes of oil paint hadn't been opened in so long they were frozen shut. Running them under hot water, I've managed to open all but the Indian Red so far.
