A Lake beyond Trees 

Editor: Here we have John Laporte's "A Lake beyond Trees." It feels wistful, maybe a touch melancholy. It's so small, intimate, almost like a secret world. What do you make of it? Curator: Oh, that's lovely! It reminds me of sketching by a lake on a moody day, that strange mix of serenity and foreboding. Laporte really captures the way light plays on water, doesn't he? There's a delicate balance between the detailed tree and the hazy distance. Makes you wonder what stories that lake could tell. Editor: I hadn’t thought of it that way, but I see what you mean. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure! Art's all about seeing the world in new ways, isn't it?
