Artist Commentary: I began this painting several years ago, basing it on a scene I witnessed one autumn day, my young son observing the water, hills, and sky at a lake near our home. It was bracing weather, chilly and windy, and I was impressed by the way he remained without moving for so long, gazing at all that beauty, perhaps fixed on the hint of blue sky in the distance. It struck me as an image of the longing within us for the "distant shore" of eternity. There are expanses of fathomless water and high hills to cross, storms and much journeying before we arrive there. Even so, the full light is on the horizon, calling us. And the many-coloured light is all around us too.
