I appreciate the atmosphere created in this painting, along with its moody tonalities. I can only take credit for discovering the concept and making the choices involved. I am revisiting the theme of the abstract landscape, which also appears in my other works, such as "Rainbow Mountain" and "Coastal Living 3." The outcome feels both direct and amusing to me. I am telling a story with a somewhat vague understanding of its narrative, much like a writer who is uncertain about his own words. Nonetheless, the narrative is complete, and it resonates.

I hope viewers are drawn into the abstract energy of the piece.

Sunset Lake

"Sunset Lake," like other paintings from this period, reflects my connection to the environment.

The manner in which I applied the paint allowed me to connect deeply with the image. While abstract, I found a lake and the memory of Tahoe came to mind and the beauty and good feeling of that experience.

There are distressed areas which add to the beauty and dimension.
