Statement from the artist 

This is from the same small lake that inspired the painting Lake Lois Gold, however, it is across the street from
the lake. Backlit as this maple was created drama and it was magnificent with the leaves strewn on the ground!
Two days later I returned and this scene was gone, most of leaves blown off from wind and rain. This massive
tree spanned the road like a protective umbrella, hence the name Sun Umbrella.
