This is an original plein air study. I chose the view of the Fairbanks lake facing the clubhouse and gazebo.  Many weddings take place here.  I sponsored a wedding for an equestrian Olympic rider who decided to ride in horses during the ceremony.  Many of us were horsewomen and there was a buzz of ideas of who would catch the horses who were skittish of the wedding gown blowing fiercely in the wind, as they might unseat the bride and groom as they rode down to the water's edge. Thankfully they all made it through without incident.  This painting is of a more peaceful moment that might have inspired the wedding in the first place.
