This is the first in a series of recent works that deal with the Western landscape and its wonderful light.

This painting was composed and started during an Art in the Park plein-air event, and finished in the studio. It portrays the park's owners' weekend villa and a portion of the artificial lake, as well as the variety of trees that grow in the area.

With this landscape, I tried to convey the calm and serenity of a beautiful October day. I enjoyed the challenge of working in an outdoor setting in the company of other artists.
