About this work

This painting shows a calm lake with a small, dark island in the middle. The sky is wide and soft, with light blue and pink clouds. In the foreground, bare trees stand on the shore, their branches reaching into the water. The whole scene feels quiet and still. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, especially in the sky, giving it a textured look. The light reflects off the water, making it shimmer slightly. If you like this style, look up impasto.
