Illinois Bank
oil
16.5 x 19.8 cm (6.5" x 7.75")

This is a view of a bank bordering Carlyle Lake in Illinois. The lake is a reservoir lake, which was created by damming the Kaskaskia River, a tributary of the Mississippi.

I was preoccupied with the colour in this painting to the detriment of the drawing. As a result of that lack of attention to the drawing, the bank is ill-defined.
