Malachite Lake I

A part of a diptych, this landscape with trees and a lake can be displayed individually or with its mate Malachite Lake II; its size also allows it to be a part of a gallery wall. It is painted on a textured canvas with bold brush strokes and palette knives. The distressed, effortless technique gives the painting a contemporary look. The color palette is bright with a high contrast - cool teal, navy blue and green interact with warm red and yellow.
