Laurel River Lake art prints

Clear Kentucky water, from the lake we come home to.

Laurel River Lake is my home lake: the place my husband and I go every day we can. These canvas prints and lake art pieces come from emerald green water, yellow ochre sandstone gradating into the lake, wooded banks, High Top evenings, and the quiet creeks on the south end.

High Top Evening Daisies began with that leaving-the-water feeling at Laurel River Lake, when the whole place goes soft, open, and golden.

Lakehouse Portrait Co. creates Laurel River Lake art prints and ready-to-hang canvas wall art inspired by thousands of hours on the water: emerald green Kentucky water, yellow ochre sandstone banks, High Top Boat Ramp, Spruce Creek, Rogers Creek, Whippoorwill, south-end creeks and waterfalls, reflected light, and the private-feeling lake places we return to again and again.

Evening Along Quiet Banks carries the kind of bank color that feels ordinary only if you have never stayed long enough to watch it change.

My home lake

Not a generic lake. The lake.

Laurel River Lake has no houses lining the banks, which is part of why it feels so magical to me. It is clear, wooded, protected, and strangely intimate for a place with big water. The banks are forest instead of backyards. The coves can feel like you found them, even when you know other people love them too.

That is the feeling I want these prints to keep: emerald green water, yellow ochre sandstone gradating out into the lake, and the hush around it. Time around High Top Boat Ramp. Days may start or end near Grove and Holly Bay, but the work mostly lives out in the green-black shadow of Spruce Creek, Rogers Creek, Whippoorwill, and the small creeks and waterfalls on the south end of the lake.

What the page is for

Laurel River Lake art for people who know the place by feeling.

This page gathers Lakehouse Portrait Co. prints rooted in Laurel River Lake and the way I know it: Daniel Boone National Forest, High Top, Spruce Creek, Rogers Creek, Whippoorwill, south-end creeks, waterfalls, wooded banks, and the clear-water atmosphere of southeastern Kentucky.

Clear water

Emerald green, gold, ochre, and shadow layered together, especially where yellow ochre sandstone gradates into the water.

Wooded banks

Forest edges instead of crowded banks, with coves that feel tucked away and a little protected.

High Top evenings

The leaving-the-lake light near High Top Boat Ramp: daisies, warm sun, soft distance, and that last good look before heading home.

South-end creeks

Spruce Creek, Rogers Creek, Whippoorwill, and the small creek-and-waterfall places where the lake feels most intimate.

The Kentucky pieces are less about landmark scenes and more about what the lake does to color, weather, and memory.

For real rooms

Freshwater art that does not turn the room into a souvenir shop.

Laurel River Lake art works best when it feels like the lake has been allowed into the room without shouting. A large canvas can hold a living room wall. A smaller print can make a bedroom, camper, office, hallway, or lake room feel more connected to the water.

For lake homeowners, campers, and decorators, it gives a space quiet color and a specific story. For people who know Laurel, it is a way to recognize emerald water and wooded banks without needing a sign that says lake.

Studio note

A larger Laurel River Lake oil series is underway.

I am currently working on a seven-piece original oil series on large canvases based on Laurel River Lake. Those originals are not listed in the shop right now. When the series is complete, I expect that body of work to become part of a future show, likely with more information later in 2026.

Laurel River Lake art FAQ

Questions people ask before choosing a print.

Is this original artwork or a print?

The products linked here are prints made from original Lakehouse Portrait Co. artwork. Canvas prints arrive ready to hang, while fine art prints are made for framing.

Why focus on Laurel River Lake?

Laurel River Lake is my home lake, and the place my husband and I go every day we can. It gives the work a real visual vocabulary: emerald green water, yellow ochre sandstone banks, quiet coves, wildflowers, creeks, waterfalls, and evening light.

Do the prints work outside Kentucky homes?

Yes. The pieces are specific to Laurel River Lake, but the feeling works anywhere someone wants freshwater color, wooded quiet, and a room that feels closer to the water.

Can I ask about a custom Laurel River Lake piece?

Yes. Prints are the main shop focus, but if you have a specific dock, cove, boat, house, or water view in mind, you can email the studio to ask about custom work.
