Sleeper's Dream

January 25, 2010 - 16" x 20", acrylic on stretched canvas



I did this painting as a commission from a good friend and colleague at work. His last name is Sleeper and the image is from a photo of his boat on Lake Tahoe, from the deck of his vacation home. His self-described "happy place".

The color palette is pretty simple. I used cerulean blue, cad red and titanium white for the sky, dark clouds and water. The bright cloud reflecting the setting sun is dialyride yellow, hansa yellow, napthol red and titanium white.
