Misty Lake

This original oil painting captures a calm lake scene with low morning mist and a forested shoreline. The composition is built in layers, with dark reflective water in the foreground and a soft, hazy tree line in the distance. A single tree with bright orange leaves stands near the shore, providing a clear focal point against the more muted surroundings.
The mist moves horizontally across the scene, blending water and land while adding depth and atmosphere. Reflections in the water are handled with loose brushwork, mirroring the tones of the forest and sky without sharp detail.
