Winter Sets at Klondike Park
Rose-colored foliage and cool blue reflections give Winter Sets at Klondike Park an expressive, almost dreamlike lakeside atmosphere.
Bill and Linda Tiepelman ·
A season expressed in color
A sparse tree enters from the left, its small leaves and branches standing against the sky. Across the water, warm pink and copper tones gather along the bank. The lake holds them beneath a broad blue reflection, creating a strong warm-cool contrast.
The artwork’s palette does more than describe the place. It shapes how the scene feels, turning the shoreline into a glowing border around still water. Pale ground should not automatically be read as snow; Klondike’s light-colored shoreline is a feature of many views in this collection. Look closely at the small point near the center, where reflected trees and bank meet in a compact pattern.
The place behind the image
The pale lakeside sand is silica. See the county’s park information for background, and the current visitor page when planning an outing.
Picture it on your wall
A horizontal print keeps the foreground tree connected to the open lake. Let the unusual palette be the focal point rather than surrounding it with competing colors. Explore prints and available merchandise for Winter Sets at Klondike Park.
