Across The Lake - Original Oil Painting

Canvas board size 20x16 (overall framed size is approximately 27x23)

As each leaf turned colors
Tightly grasping its mate
Long now, it wasn’t
It would soon meet its fate

There by the blue lake
Golden leafs color the ground
They moved on from yesterday
A new place to sleep sound

For fall brings about changes
Trees letting go of the past
Just like our faint memories
It’s not long do they last

The ground now is beautiful
The leaves have a new home
The weather will warm again
And new leaves will be sewn

This story is repeated
It continues year after year
The lake is the witness
This one thing stands clear

As we look at ourselves
We are just like the leaf
Basking days in the sunlight
If only a time that is brief

This painting is on a 20x16 inch canvas panel with an absolutely stunning ornate frame. The painting was done in a thick impasto/pointillism style. I often got “up” confused with “down” while painting it. Given the late hour, the reflection of the trees in the lake are done with a darker color to produce the correct effect. I liked painting the small island to the left because it really provides perspective and gives everything a three dimensional look.
