Pond Reflection, Lake Oswego, Oregon

9" x 12" | 22.9 x 30.5 cm; watercolor; 1½ hours

Look at how light the water is where it is reflecting the sky. This is juxtaposed with a darker reflection, perhaps of nearby trees? Note how the dark section is warmer and darker closer to the artist, and cooler and lighter farther away. That change gives a wonderful sense of depth. This is also a great example of being able to see something under the water, while still seeing reflections above. Note how we can only see the stones underneath the water when they are closer, and how we can see through the water better where it is in shadow rather than where we see the reflection of the sky.
