Painted in the Lake of Bays region in northern Ontario, Casson captured the heavy atmosphere on the lake with the moody grey skies of an impending rainfall. Characteristic of the artist’s later works, there is a softness to both colour palette and the handling of brushwork emphasizing a more reserved depiction of the Canadian landscape. The work showcases Casson’s dedication to the Ontario landscape in this subtle rendering of the popular region.
