In the painting “The Lake at Dusk” by the American artist Scott Pryor the house of the artist himself on the lake, a warm windless evening, the trees are reflected on the mirror surface of the lake, a light smoke over the water. There is a light in the house, armchairs in the yard are empty, the laundry on the rope is dried, in nature there is a state of rest.
Surprisingly, the surrounding nature connects with this friendly house into a single whole: the courtyard is not empty, it is not one, but together with people who in the house with shining cheerful windows laugh, drink tea, put children to sleep. As a great tender animal preparing for bed and tired of the day the lake.
