Morning at the Point
About this artwork
Valerie Berkely looks for stories in her travels as inspiration for her abstracted landscapes. She says of this calm scene, Just offshore there lies a slip of land along the lake known as The Point. It's a long drive around to get to the best campsite. Weather permitted, you could row straight across from the main shore. Yet choppy lake waters deter many. The reward? Hearing a loon at daybreak calling for its mate. Feeling the mist behind the trees. Having a morning like no other.
