{"product_id":"pena-lake-avandaro","title":"Peña, Lake Avandaro","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is one of the few paintings I've made of a specific, real place. My soon-to-be husband and I trekked up to see Lake Avandaro, near Valle de Bravo in Mexico. I'll be honest - once I'd caught my breath from the climb, I immediately lost it again. The view was that stunning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat you're looking at here is that moment translated into gold leaf and paint. The gnarled, silvered branches in the foreground stand in stark, linear contrast against a sky and lake rendered almost entirely in gold - that shimmering, unbroken expanse is meant to hold the same breathlessness I felt standing there. Below, the rock face is built up with thin, translucent washes on linen, closer to watercolor than to heavy paint, giving the stone a soft, almost weathered quality against all that gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a painting about a real place, but also about what it feels like to be stopped in your tracks by beauty - that particular kind of quiet that happens right before you remember to keep breathing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucy MacQueen Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46504575500367,"sku":null,"price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/6413\/9343\/files\/1Q9A9142.jpg?v=1789054417","url":"https:\/\/lsdgallery.com\/fr\/products\/pena-lake-avandaro","provider":"LSD Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
