PROVENANCE
Private Collection, Toronto


While a portion of Dorothy Knowles work is influenced the Helen Frankenthaller-esque technique of “soak-staining” the canvas, employing ethereal blooms and watercolour-like washes of colour, she was equally adept with gestural and impasto applications of paint. In lovely examples such as this one, she splits the difference between the two approaches, delicately expressing the effects of light on water, while still suggesting the textural surface of the lake as it reflects the moody character of the uppermost clouds. The modulated shades of blue counterpointed against the pastels of the evening sky shows Knowles' masterful ability of expressing the natural world as both majestic and intimate at once.
