· Hart was born in Paisley, Scotland, He went to America along with his family while he was still young. He was an apprentice to a carriage painter at Albany, New York, and his first artistic experience was in decorating the panels of coaches with landscapes.
· He exhibited his first work at the National Academy of Design in 1848. He then became a full member in 1858, and continued to show his paintings there regularly through the mid 1870s. Hart was a member of the American Watercolor Society, and was its president from 1870 to 1873. Like most of the other major American artists of that time, Hart settled in New York City, where he opened a studio in the Tenth Street Studio building in 1858.
The Strokes of this art piece is relatively smooth-looking. My focus heads towards the middle, towards the mid-lining hills. The contrast between the bright colored sky and the relatively dark lake makes me want to see the convergence point between the two contrasting elements. The colors of this painting are primarily green and yellow in the foreground, while the background, the sky, is blue. The green is albeit darker than that of the blue, further suggesting the contrast between the two. The one framing comes from the trees on the left.
