It has been such a summer pleasure, throughout my life, to spend time friends who have cabins on the waters of Puget Sound. One such friend has a small complex of cabins and a shed up on Samish Island, north of La Conner, WA. As a novice oil painter, I decided to pack up my paints and a canvas board to find something to paint at this marvelous place. Here you see my efforts, begun on site and completed at home with the aid of a photo I took that day.
