Description
This my watercolor painting of Sand Harbor at Lake Tahoe in winter for the theme of Sparkle, Day 46 of the 60 Day/Theme Art Isolation Challenge. The sunlight dancing on spots on the lake seemed to sparkle. Prior to the discovery of Lake Tahoe by European Americans in 1846, the Native American Washoe Tribe could be found fishing and hunting at Sand Harbor. Starting in the 1870s, Sand Harbor Lake Tahoe was the center of large logging operations to supply lumber to the Comstock mining district around Virginia City. Sand Harbor became the foundation of the Lake Tahoe - Nevada State Park. The grand opening of the park was in 1971. Picturesque Sand Harbor in Lake Tahoe offers amazing views and the opportunity to photograph all of the natural beauty, crystal-clear water, and interesting rock formations.
Here’s the strange thing about this painting. After I was done painting, I thought I saw a human. When I checked back on the reference photo I took, I discovered there was a person that I had painted without knowing it. Somewhere in this picture is a hidden person.
This 12” X 16” painting was done on Arches, 140 lb, cold press watercolor paper.
