60” x 30” — Acrylic on canvas
A horizontal view of Taal Lake with its island volcano in the distance. Broad brushstrokes show the lake’s smooth surface, reflecting sky colors from soft morning blue to muted gray. Layered washes give the water depth; occasional thick paint catches light on ripples. The volcano and shore are simplified into solid, sculptural shapes in warm browns and olive greens with cool shadows, suggesting distance. Low clouds and light haze soften the horizon and increase the feeling of space. A limited palette and balanced layout stress calm and the lake’s wide scale. The overall mood is quiet and reflective: Taal Lake feels nearly within reach from Manila, yet kept in a still, observant calm.
