#233 – Soft Blue Horizon

Looking at Lake Perućac, it’s hard to believe that it was once just a stretch of the Drina River. Now, it’s an expansive lake that serves as a border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom and the shore is dotted with trees and shrubs. Standing on the ethereal shores of Lake Perućac, it feels like you’re in another world entirely. When I look at this painting, it feels as though time stands still and there is a sense of silence and peace. Cadmium green, teal, paynes grey, light green and titanate yellow are blended and layered to achieve an organic palette.
