Chartreuse is the oddball sky in this series. It sneaks in and settles among the trees before you quite register what’s happening. The mixed media adds just enough texture to suggest light shifting and changing in real time.

It’s not a sky we see often over Lake of the Woods, but every now and then something close to this appears and makes you question what you thought a sunset should look like. This piece leans into that surprise — unfamiliar, luminous, and quietly electric.

This work is part of my Sunset Series. Painted in response to the ever-changing skies over Lake of the Woods, this vertical series celebrates the nightly theatre of light we see from our west-facing cottage. Working in acrylic on cradled wood panels with mixed media embellishments, I’ve abstracted silhouetted shoreline trees against shifting skies of chartreuse, orange, pink, and gold. Each panel holds a different mood — not a literal sunset, but the energy of one. And every so often, even the Northern Lights join the performance. Slender and luminous, these pieces stand like visual exclamation marks.
