Not every day on Lake George is full of sunlight. This piece is an example of how using more muted colors can shift the mood of an image to tone it down. It's almost the same view as the last quilt, minus the Adirondack chair, but I like the softer palette better. Adding a bit of diluted Tsukineko fabric ink to the water makes a difference too, and you may noticed that I've scaled down the mountains a hair to add more depth and make the lake look larger. I'm struggling to shoot this series properly though, and am not happy with the photos my phone takes. It's picking up too much detail and giving a grainy appearance to the quilt surface. Time to dig out the real camera and see how it compares.
