Lake Tahoe (Before the Smoke)
In July of this year (2021), my husband and I visited one of his ski buddy’s homes in Lake Tahoe. I had never been there before and discovered a stunning place! (This was prior to the wildfires billowing toxic smoke throughout the region.)
The town was brimming with covid-frustrated visitors, eager to get out of their homes to explore domestic tourist sites. At every site-seeing spot, cars lined highway shoulders while other eagerly waited for someone to pull out of the few parking lots.
The lake itself, is quite large, dotted with small islands. In its bays, colors are reminiscent of the Caribbean with bright turquoise, blue, and green hues. This painting is based on a photo I took of Emerald Bay.
