Edge of Lake in New Hampshire (Oil Bar Painting Day 5)

Yesterday I worked on this painting of a New Hampshire lake. I started by reworking the cloud formations, adding a little bit of purple to the clouds. I also reworked the dark shadows within the clouds to get them to line up on the diagonal a bit more, for the sake of perspective as well as the composition. Then I added just a bit of variation to the color of the water. I thought I was finished, and walked away. But then I decided to to eliminate a horizontal line near the top of the canvas by extending the break in the clouds all the way to the top of the canvas, creating a strong diagonal line.
