Story / Additional InfoFrom the artist: "This work is a study done from several images found in magazines and a memory the artist had of skinny dipping in a lake with a teenage cousin when she visited her family in the Michigan Lakes area one summer. The artist is trying to capture the feeling of tranquility and peacefulness she felt there and the sense that they were alone in a lost paradise. She wanted to especially capture the light on the water and the stillness of that lake world."
