This little painting took some time to conceive and paint. Visiting the site in all kinds of conditions and times of day I finally settled on this late afternoon view. I did some editing of the actual scene to eliminate some trees on the far shore and open up the space into the far distance which I think makes for a better picture. I always opt for a better picture than an exact representation of what is in front of me as long as I capture the spirit of the place that first attracted me.
