Evening on the Lake, 8 x 10
sold
This is from one of our last evenings in Florida--there are several docks and piers on Western Lake, and this is one of my favorites. Just around the dock is Hwy 30A, a two-lane road that runs along the coast (and crosses this lake). Walk across 30A, cross some dunes, and you're on the beach. I wanted to capture the almost black-and-white effect that the evening creates on the lake--it silhouettes the trees on the oceanside and can be very dramatic. There is a bit too much reflection on the darks in this photo--they're a bit darker in person, but I like the way it turned out.

This is beautiful Julie - well done.
The color is beautiful...the serenity compelling!
This paintings seems like a departure from your usual style. Well done. I love the delicate, almost spidery lines of the trees. It's like we are seeing them thru a haze. They also add texture or "Bling" as Carol Marine calls it!
Your paintings have a beauty..maybe it's the colors and depths/distance that give me a joyful jolt. I want them all!
Perfect, love the sensitive feel about it!
Those dark tree silhouettes against the gray-blue sky and make a perfect combination. And the sense of tranquility throughout - you've really captured an ideal moment in time.
Beautiful Julie - love the composition!
Thanks, all. THis one felt a little different, but I like it. I appreciate all the supportive comments!
Hi Julie,
What a beautiful treatment of light that's hard to capture.
This is fantastic.

looks like you are getting very proficient with the palette knife!
Nice!
I actually didn't use it on this one, but it may have influenced it a bit!
