Reminiscent of the pines by Group of Seven artists: A.J. Casson, and Arthur Lismer, this image was based on a photo taken on Lake Mazinaw, another area visited by them where they painted their stunning views of Bon Echo Rock.

Brings back wonderful family memories of summers spent on and in the lake.

As the tilt of the earth’s axis begins to point away from the sun, the angular light can turn the ordinary into the dramatic. Here in the Northern hemisphere, this is particularly noticeable in late summer/early fall. Add to that sun bleached, golden fields and foliage turning to rust and the landscape becomes spectacular.

This scene is from just such a day on one of the back roads in Cumberland. The summer heat and haze are gone.

For a look, please check out the Featured Pieces or the Summer portfolio.
