In light of all of the recent turmoil in the world, I decided to create a large 30x40 inch acrylic painting to celebrate the simple joy of being near a lake at night. At first I thought of the scene as taking place in North Carolina and calling it ‘North Carolina Sunset’. But it can really take place almost anywhere. This painting comes from my imagination. It is not meant to look real, only to suggest something real. For this reason, I will hereby refer to this painting as ‘Lake at Night’.
