This is the painting of Bow Lake I was referring to a few posts back. I finally got it finished and yes I did crop 4 inches off of the bottom. This makes the painting a 28 x 40. The reason I cropped it was because I wanted to lower the horizon line, thereby putting more emphasis on the upper two thirds of the painting which is where I wanted the attention.
Bow Lake is a wonderful spot in the Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. The Num-ti-jah Lodge sits on the shore with a commanding view of the glacier, lake and surrounding mountains. We have stayed there and highly recommend it. The owners of the lodge are very supportive of the arts and have hosted many artists over the years.

Very nice. Seems the crop was a good idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks DKS. Cropping is hard to do.In my case I had put a lot of time and effort into trying to make the bottom work and it just wasn't. The obvious solution was to cut it off and move on. So I did.
