The peaceful blues along the banks of Lake Ontario create a deep serenity as I hike in between working in my studio. This piece is from my “Mystical Lakes” series, my quiet celebration of the “the lake” and the symbol of tranquility it represents in my life. I experiment with the atmospheric effects of light and weather on the lake’s surface through the ancient medium of encaustic painting, which consists of fusing layers of oil pigment and wax.
