Painting Hume Lake

For years I’ve been hearing about the beauty of Hume Lake, a Christian Camp in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. We have many friends who visit every summer and I was commissioned to paint the view of the lake and the mountains earlier this year. Wewere finally able to drive up and explore Hume ourselves this week and I had a wonderful time painting the ever changing landscape.

Here are three of the five studies I completed in the three days we were there. I’ll be working on another Hume Lake commission in the coming weeks. What a privilege to capture the beauty of creation in a place steeped in meaning for so many.

I found out this week that my painting “Eventide at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands” was juried in to the LPAPA 10th Annual Best of Plein Air show. The show runs June 28th through July 18th at the Randy Higbee Gallery in Costa Mesa.

I became a member of the Laguna Plein Air Painter’s Association last fall and have found this group to be such an encouraging, inclusive, and professional organization. I love having the opportunity to paint with and receive instruction from the generous signature artists. And of course, love getting down to Laguna Beach to enjoy all the beauty and painting inspiration. It’s an honor to have my work included in this year’s Best of Plein Air show. Thank you LPAPA!
