Lake Michigan Sunset over Pier Cove
17 X 11 inches, oil on vellum paper, 2025 (Sold)
Lake Michigan Sunset over Pier Cove captures the waning light of day as it filters through a stand of trees, dissolving form into layered color and gesture. Soft whites radiate from the horizon, pressing against darker greens and earth tones that rise and fold through the foreground. The trees are part silhouette, part rhythm—allowing the sunset to assert itself as a luminous presence rather than a literal view of the lake. Through abbreviated forms and expressive brushwork, the painting conveys the fleeting intensity of sunset at Pier Cove, where light, land, and atmosphere merge into a single, transient moment.
