AS EVER HIDDEN
Squam Stillwater: Five Pines ( in progress)
James Aponovich
Oil on canvas, 24" x 18"
Now the painting is in the home stretch. To most eyes it
appears to be finished but I know that there still remains hours of
painting ( pine needles ) ahead. I originally had something happening
where the air meets the water. On the surface of the water I painted
a Mayfly which has just landed and underneath you could see a trout
rising to catch it. I understand that things like that occur. I realized that was
in complete juxtaposition of the tranquility I was trying to capture.
So out came the hungry fish and if old 'Golden Pond' ( Squam Lake)
is known for anything.....
