This photo, taken by Judy in July of 2009 at Lake Moraine near Banff, Canada was the inspiration. The deep turquoise lake was fascinating. |
This was the other photo of inspiration...taken in July, 2009 at Lake Josephine in Glacier National Park. |
This was the cloned photo used as a reference. |
Began blocking it out in January, 2016. |

Feb. 18, 2016. I decided to take some liberties and added some dramatic peaks and clouds AND a glacier. |
March 3, 2016 |
Toned down the peaks and dark clouds and added some golden orange aspens and subtle waterfalls. April 5th. |
This is how it looked on May 26, 2016 and how it remained for over 2 years. |
It took me a while to figure out what to do. Ended up softening the peaks and clouds with some foggy mist. Decided the aspens weren't an element that worked. |

It’s fascinating, Bob, to watch the changes as you make them and how you explain the painting with each twist and turn you make. It goes without saying...but I’ll say it anyway....I LOVE YOUR WORK; ALL OF IT. YOU ROCK, MR. NELSON!! ����
