"Reflections, T.W. Dix Reservoir" 2011 C. Asheley Kapelewski

I often feel that a more limited color scheme in a painting results in a more dramatic effect. This was always one of my best sellers, I think others agree. I was on my way back from Barre, Vermont, and I stopped by a reservoir and walked a path to it's shore, where I saw this view. The mist from a clearing storm partially obscured distant mountains, but focused the eye on the beautiful islands in the reservoir. Only two colors, Payne's Grey and Viridian, capture the mood perfectlly.
