Crescent Lake Lake Clark National Park Wall Art | Vintage Alaska Print

Crescent Lake fills most of this Lake Clark National Park print, its glacial water running from clear aquamarine over the near stones to deep turquoise further out. Grass and slate boulders make up the shore in the foreground, three brown bears cross the beach on the far bank, and the snow-covered bulk of Mount Redoubt rises behind the far ridge.

Why you'll love it

• Painted in the golden-age national park poster style: the lake bed rendered as pale mottled shapes under the surface, the mountains stepped back in flattening bands of blue toward the snowline.
• It names the exact place. Crescent Lake, Mount Redoubt, Alaska, with the park date and the coordinates 60.97 N, 153.42 W set along the bottom edge.
• Lake Clark was established as a national park in 1980, and Crescent Lake is a glacier-fed lake beneath the volcanic cone of Mount Redoubt, with brown bears working its shoreline through the salmon run.
• Aquamarine and turquoise water, fresh grass green, grey slate and snow white make a calm palette for a bedroom, a sunroom or a bright kitchen wall.
• Drawn in the same style as the rest of the 63-park series, so several hang together as one set.

Styling it at home

The green foreground and the aquamarine water give this one an unusually fresh, almost spring-like feel, so it lifts rooms that get a lot of daylight rather than needing to compensate for a dark one. Put it where the colour can bounce: a sunroom, a breakfast nook, a landing with a window opposite. Espresso framing would fight it, so stay with white or natural wood, and keep companion pieces pale rather than adding another strong colour.

Shipping and care

Paper prints ship rolled in a rigid tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang with hardware fitted. Keep the print out of direct sunlight and wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth.

FAQ

How is this different from the other Lake Clark prints in the shop? This is the Crescent Lake view, with the location and coordinates lettered at the foot of the poster. The other Lake Clark designs show different views in mid-century, oil painting and watercolour styles.

Is a frame included with the paper print? No. Paper prints ship unframed; the framed options are the framed canvas materials.
