A super painting; the sky and the reflection on the water is beautiful.

A really super, impressionistic painting. I love it and amazing that it is mainly palette knife.

Oil on canvas, 71cm x 97cm. Palette knife only. Brush only used for some twigs and thin branches. Feel more spontaneous and loose using the palette knife.
