Here is another painting of Crater Lake finished over the holidays.

I show in a gallery at Lake Tahoe, so I do a lot of Lake Tahoe paintings, which tend to sell quite well. The colors are similar, so I have been somewhat “at home” painting Crater Lake. The blues in Crater Lake are deeper than Tahoe. Most of this is because Crater Lake is the deepest in the US, with Tahoe second deepest at about 300 feet shallower. Also, part if it, I think, is with the topography around Crater Lake, you are always looking down from a high vantage point.
