Accessibility Description
This horizontal painting depicts a lakeside scene with trees, rocks, and distant mountains. The lower portion shows pale grey and light blue tones suggesting a rocky shoreline in the foreground, where dark angular forms contrast with smaller touches of green brushwork indicating small plants or saplings. At the right edge, a tall evergreen rises vertically, framing the view. Beyond the lake, a band of autumn foliage in warm oranges and golds stretches across the composition, standing out against a dense forest of deep blue and green trees behind it. Above, pale mountain forms are softened by a hazy sky in light grey and cream tones. The brushwork is bold and textural, with flat areas of colour punctuated by gestural strokes that give structure and rhythm to the natural forms. The overall impression is a crisp autumn day in the Canadian wilderness, with vivid colour contrasts between warm foliage, cool water, and misty mountain slopes.We believe in transparency.
