Flagstaff Lake is a pretty lovely place. A manmade lake around Kingman, Maine surrounded by wilderness, and grazed by the passing Appalachian Trail. This night was unseasonably warm and clear with Saturn visible and almost perfectly above the nearest peak of the Bigelow Mountains to the south of the lake.

The process of the painting is an underpainting created with a “gouache ink resist” underpainting, with gouache on top. If you’re interested in the process, I did more of a full documentation here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CIV9DNqDUaX/.
