By The Lagoon

By the Lagoon is an original impressionist forest landscape painting — 24" x 30", oil on canvas — by Washington, DC–based contemporary artist Maria-Victoria Checa.

This luminous original painting captures the mesmerizing stillness of a forest lagoon — where towering trees in deep teal, emerald, and cobalt dissolve into their own reflection below, the boundary between water and woodland barely perceptible. A soft column of light shimmers at the center, rippling across the surface and drawing the eye into the depths of this quiet, enchanted scene. Painted with richly layered palette-knife strokes, the canvas vibrates with color, texture, and atmosphere.

The scene evokes the suspended magic of a forest at the water's edge — where the real and the reflected become one, and time seems to slow to a perfect stillness.
