Bathed in golden light and brushed with vivid blues, this Impressionist-inspired canvas captures a serene vista at Big Lake, with Edmonton’s cityscape lingering gently in the background. The artist skillfully employs a palette knife technique, creating textured, almost tactile surfaces that shimmer with the reflections of skyscrapers on the calm waters. The sky is depicted with dynamic brushstrokes of white and soft grey, suggesting a lively dance of clouds above. This artwork evokes a sense of calm, blending urban architecture with the natural beauty of Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park. The foreground features delicate flora and lush greenery, bordering the water’s edge and leading the viewer’s eye towards the horizon where nature meets urbanity. As the day closes, the fading light casts a peaceful glow over the scene, inviting contemplation and introspection. ***About Edmonton Skyline and Big Lake: Edmonton, Alberta’s capital, is known for its vibrant urban center set against sprawling natural landscapes.
