California’s breathtaking High Sierras tower over the brilliant blue Long Lake in this evening scene. The landscape is delicately tinted in warm light and cloaked in long shadows as the sun sets to the right, outside the viewer’s scope. Everything about this piece, from the color palette to the brushstrokes, exudes tranquility.
