Cobalt Mirror, Still Lake Landscape

Pacific Northwest Landscapes · horizontal

A still lake reflects a vivid blue sky streaked with thin white clouds. Across the water, a line of evergreen trees, a few small buildings, and soft blue mountain ridges sit low on the horizon. In the foreground, a grassy bank of dry straw-colored brush and fresh green patches leads toward the shoreline, with a single bare tree at the right. A fine, painterly texture covers the whole scene.

A collector wants this piece for the saturated cobalt sky and its exact mirror image in still water. That blue is set against warm, tangled straw-colored grasses in the foreground. Most calm lake scenes are muted or misty. This one is bright, open and high in color, with a fine painterly surface that gives it a hand-worked feel. Pure visual pleasure is reason enough: the blue, the stillness and the clear daylight.

The story of this pieceA Cobalt Sky, Doubled in Still WaterA saturated cobalt sky lands on a still lake and repeats itself almost exactly, with warm wiry grasses in front.
