Prosser Creek Reservoir

My friend, Tara, and I were determined to paint plein-air outside her cabin in Truckee. It was late in the summer— the wildflowers were long gone, and the water was low at Prosser Creek Reservoir— not the most picturesque scene, but I still managed to make a colorful painting thanks to some reddish weeds growing around the lake’s shore.
