This painting shows soft, rolling hills with a dark blue lake cutting through them. The colors are mostly pale—light blues, grays, and a touch of peach at the bottom. The brushstrokes are loose, almost like quick sketches, with some areas left almost blank. The artist used watercolor, letting the paint blend into the paper for a dreamy look. The signature in the corner says "Joan Hodes '73," which matches the year 1973. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
