#79 – The Rock

An inspiring vision of Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park, Alberta. A cloudy sky complimented by tranquil forms of mountains, trees and a calm lake, help create an environment that encourages reflection. Although there is much to be said for the cheeriness of a bright blue sky, the stoic quality of grey cloud cover is underrated. The coniferous trees and the clouds are the most defined forms in this piece. The trickling water along the shoreline is slightly obscured, as though you’re focusing on the horizon. The colour palette of this painting is cool toned. Paynes grey and titanium white are tinted with soft blues and greens.
