change log

This painting was created from my daily walks and runs around Lake Harriet in South Minneapolis. I noticed the sky, the foliage and the reflections. As I made my sometimes 1 sometimes 2 circuits, I would see  in the same window of looking, a log at various states of submersion, changing as the days changed and I changed.

 I was trying to do a couple things - working on  rendering the sky in the water, and really seeing the log as icon as reflection of the moment. The log is rendered in sterling silver leaf,  the shadow in oil.  As you move around the painting and at different times of day and evening, it subtly changes nature.
