Story / Additional InfoFrom a series of night paintings where the artist in interested in capturing the atmosphere of the location. Millerton Lake is a frequent destination for the artist whose partner often plays music gigs around the lake at various venues and when they drive home, she is much taken with the landscape at night and the reflections on the lake. There is also a definite influence here from the Fauves and their colorful landscapes using colors unassociated with landscapes and the bold strokes of paint. Night scenes hold a certain mystery for the artist which she aptly captures here.
