Whittier Wright painted everything from Atlanta nightscapes to horse races, but one particular lake in the Blue Ridge Mountains emerged as a recurring character in his work for over 50 years. This portfolio, I See the Lake, overflows with images of that lake in oil, watercolor, and pastel—spanning 96 pages.
The book also features a vivid collection of Whittier’s writing: brief interludes spaced at considered intervals, covering topics ranging from memory, nature, failure, wonder, and the act of looking itself. As your eyes swim between each glimmering shard, these passages of text appear at just the right time—rafts where you can catch your breath.
