Cabins on the Lake

A small line of yellow in the windows, against all the cold blues and greens. The mist does the heavy lifting; everything sits inside it.

An original watercolour of a lakeside scene in the Pacific Northwest, on 100% cellulose paper. Cabins on the water near Seattle — conifer-thick country between Puget Sound and the Cascades — where autumn shortens fast and the mist comes off the lake at dusk. That small, held domesticity against the dark wet of the firs and the still mirror of the water is the whole point.
