I See the Lake is a 96-page collection of paintings and writings by artist Whittier Wright, centered on a single subject revisited over five decades—a small lake in the North Georgia mountains. Through oil, watercolor, and pastel, Wright captures shifting light, moody reflections, and the quiet drama of this familiar place. But alongside the images, his words offer something more: a meditation on memory, nature, failure, wonder, and the act of looking itself.

Part visual portfolio, part personal essay, this book reveals the lake not just as a subject, but as a lifelong companion—one that never stopped inviting the artist to try and see it.
