The colour is likely a bit off in both these photos. I have trouble capturing bluey-purples with my camera. The original version (below) was missing the moodiness I wanted and the water was very boring- the dark land mass seemed to float on it. Also, although not shown in this photo, there were a few scratches on the painting from various moves to and from art markets. 

Not huge changes, but overall a better painting now I think.

As another summer approaches I find myself missing Emma Lake and the Kenderdine Campus. This little island was right across from the campus and this point could very well be the most painted location in Saskatchewan.
