Foggy Lake/ Gothic Peak, Washington, Oil on canvas 40" x 30”

Flanked by Gothic and Del Campo Peaks and absent of any shoreline vegetation, Foggy Lake (5,223 feet) is a starkly beautiful Alpine lake. The area was the domain of hardscrabble miners and fortune seekers who built a path to it over a century ago. “Like most weather events, fog is often seen as a spiritual or even human force — given emotional qualities and charged with the importance normally reserved for gods or angels.” — Alexis Carrel
