Crockett Lake from Fort Casey

On my way through Whidbey Island after picking up my paintings from Scott Milo Gallery in Anacortes, I had to wait an hour for my ferry at Coupeville. So I drove up to Fort Casey, right next to the ferry terminal, and set up my easel on a point looking out over the shallow waters of Crockett Lake. My fellow painter Lorraine Goddard showed me this location during the Paint Out. I made a background wash of the clouds, the distant hills and the lake, but I couldn’t finish because the paint was drying so slowly. I packed up and got on the ferry, and when I got home I finished the foreground trees. Pretty happy with this one.
