Painting of the Week

Here is this week's painting:

                                Lake Superior
In this painting, Harris demonstrates an expressive usage of light and dark, day and night.  It depicts Lake Superior with a cloudy covering, and the sun just peeping through that curtain of cloud.  This is one of his later works, and therefore a simpler one because of his change in style.  It has great shadowing near the rocks and spectacular brightness under the sun's rays.
