Kenneth Shanika was the artist who composed this masterpiece. He has a studio at his home on Trout Creek Ranch. He currently has over 100 paintings for sale and is at his studio most of his time. His primary focus is landscape portraits in oil color. His favorite spot to paint is the rocky mountains. Kenneth goes there and will stay there for months and just look at the mountains.
In his painting, Mountain Lake, the strokes all go from side to side in the lake, and from top to bottom in the mountain itself. The colors mainly come in brown or light blue. This represents the sky, mountain, and lake. Most of the shapes include Triangles and circles. The texture is rough at parts, but mostly smooth in the sky and lake.
The rhythm of this painting takes your eyes to the mountain first. That is where the emphasis is mostly. Also, the Balance of this painting flows from bottom to top. The rocks in the lake balance out the mountain so that there isn't a major color change and it is gradual.
