Shuswap Afternoon [watercolor, 12”x16”]

This is the view from the dock where I’m staying on Shuswap Lake.  It was a gorgeous afternoon so I set up and painted this while Ron read and took a ride on the seadoo.  I’d love to paint with my feet dangling in the water like this every day – it was so comfy, although I could feel the sun burning my shins after a while!  I suggested some figures in the painting to reflect the usual hustle and bustle of this lake home.  This is a rare week with just Ron and I here.  Quite often there are 10-20 people here at the same time.  So much fun happens here.  Cheers!
