"Rower in Lake Michigan"

Rower in Lake Michigan
5 x 7"
Oil on Board
Once again, here is another challenge from Karin Jurick's "DSFDF" blog. I love the hazy atmosphere in the picture, it makes me feel pretty 'Zen' at that moment. Painting the colorful ripples is so excited. I really feel a little bit of sea sick after finished. Am I so weak or my painting is so good?! ;-)
