Art story of Potato Lake - picture of the final piece on my desk in my studio with my watercolor palette and paint brushes around it
top photo is of my travel/adventure art kit shown with some sketches I did of Potato Lake. Photo 2 is a picture of me sketching with the mountains and lake in front of me.

The reference photo I used for the original watercolor - with yellow flowers in the foreground and the lake and the mountains with lots of pine trees behind it.
