Plein Air Oil Painting

I drove to Kinglake this afternoon. It’s a wonderful drive especially from Diamond Creek. It took me a while to decide the spot, but this place caught my eyes. 

It’s near the corner of Healesville-Kinglake Rd and Howard Rd. 

I found the boat is very interesting when I consider where I was standing, high up in a mountain. 

At some stage, I saw three hot air balloons in the sky. I was wondering if I should put them in or not. It was actually very difficult to do, due to their size and distance. I think they look fine. 

It was very peaceful, I really enjoyed this one. 

I spent 2.5 hours. 

Oil on canvas. 14x18 in.
