After spending a sunny summer afternoon with friends along side this reservoir for a graduation party I took a few photos of the view. Later when I got back to the studio I made a 14 x 18 inch oil painting taking note of the shadows and light in the foreground and the sunlight shimmering off the water. A large tree over head, just out of view, was creating a patchwork of light and shadow across the ground which helped frame the view and added interest.
