Beauty Beyond the Lake

 Following a recent painting I called "Metatron's Cube II, I was interested
 in creating something less "involved" yet "close to" that painting's
 astronomical theme.  The idea of once again painting mountains and a lake
 "somewhere" out there in the universe seemed appealing.  Untouched.
 Beautiful.  Serene.  These design elements always appealed to me and were
 "simple" to draw and paint using a method I was familiar with when
 painting "Release II" and "Metatron's Cube II." This painting was
 completed in just a few days on January 11, 2024.
