Description

The view is of a dark, shadowed lake landscape. The tree's shadows reflect in the water creating two large dark shapes bracketing the sides of the canvas. The work holds a painterly quality with visible brushstrokes, shades of blue cover the whole canvas. A crescent moon is suspended in the night sky, and a few lights can be seen across the lake. The signature of the artist is in the bottom right corner in red - the only warm color used in the piece.
