Cottage on Grand Lac Rond / Chalet au Grand Lac Rond

On Grand Lac Rond (Lac Roddick) in Quebec's Upper Gatineau Valley, there are somewhere between 400 and 500 residences on the shoreline of the lake. Some of these residences are permanent and others are seasonal. This seems like a lot but the lake is fairly large (roughly 6.5 km or 4 miles from end to end) and most of the properties are already built. This is a painting of one of the cottages on the shoreline with the forest in the background.

Oil painting, 30 x 40 cm (12 x 16 inches).

Sur le Grand Lac Rond (Lac Roddick) dans la Haute Vallée de la Gatineau au Québec, il y a entre 400 et 500 résidences sur les rives du lac. Certaines de ces résidences sont permanentes et d'autres sont saisonnières. Cela semble beaucoup mais le lac est assez grand (environ 6,5 km ou 4 miles d'un bout à l'autre) et la plupart des propriétés sont déjà construites. Ceci s'agit d'une peinture d'un des chalets sur le rivage avec la forêt en arrière-plan.

Impressive painting. I like the "heavy look"of the background in contrast to the white house

This is yet another lovely painting, Michael! I love the tones you gave the foliage in the background and the way the house seems to shine in the sun.

Hey, I hope your silenece of late does not mean you are away from painting, but just taking a short break!
