Here is detail from a small N.A.Moore painting that is crammed with interesting detail. In this compact sketch that the artist likely completed en plein air from a perch near Bolton Landing we see the spiny ridge of the Tongue Mountain Range at the left, a deep look down the lake into a sunnier Northern Basin, the canyons of Shelving Rock & Black Mountain to the right. This is the classic look at Lake George - looking northward through The Narrows. In the intermediate field, an oarsman guides his Adirondack boat over a glassy lake. See the entire picture, including dramatic storm clouds at cartwrightfineart.com. It is not uncommon for Lake George to experience distinctly different weather patterns in the South and North portions of the lake. In 1897, Nelson Augustus Moore captured the dramatic differences.
