Hop, Skip and Jump by Joshua Cunningham ©2011. Oil on Mounted Linen. Framed. 9"x12". Landscape painting of a boat and dock in Prior Lake Minnesota.

The phrase "Hop, Skip and a Jump" came to mind when I looked at the fun summer scene.  I enjoyed trying to paint the sky without painting the sky, but rather by painting its reflection in the water.  Charlie Sunder, is the owner of the property on Prior Lake who let me on his property to paint.  It is his son's boat so carefully tucked uner the dock.
