#2449 "Singleton Icy Sunset"


I thought it would be interesting to complete a pair of paintings from the same time with one overlooking the forest and the other depicting the view across the lake. The reflections across the lake are controlled by the open water, the ice and the snow. Every such painting of Singleton is a study in optics. The open water is very reflective at glancing angles of incidence so it reflects the sunset sky. The rough ice and snow are far less reflective and some of those surfaces are already in the shadow of the western shore. 

The previous painting #2448 "Long Reach Forest Sunset" was the forest view of the same sunset.
