Summertime is Play Time

Another painting I'll take to Tipp City in July, this one was done from a photo I took at Lakeside last year. Lakeside, Ohio is a small gated Community near Marblehead, Ohio in the northernmost part of Ohio. Lake Erie is making a comeback, thanks to conservation efforts, and is becoming a cleaner and healthier place to swim and boat.

I used a combination of cadmium orange and thalo red rose as a HOT underpainting just to see what kind of effect I would get.

Lakeside Summer Day

My Favorite of the Trip

The view of this old Schwinn bicycle from the porch of the house where I was staying was irresistible. No. 1: It was cool on the porch and I could relax. No. 2: The sun was glancing off the bike and the garden in a picturesque manner.
