Title: Sunrise, Lake George // Artist: Janet Cooke
about the piece
| The awe I felt at waking up to this magnificent sunrise on vacation at Lake George in the Adirondack Mountains last October inspired me to try to capture its grandeur in paint. The air was so still and a sense of hushed calm infused my entire being. The magic of the orange and magenta light and their reflections in the water lasted only a few minutes, a sweet and fleeting moment of paradise. Oil on linen panel, 9” x 12” |
