After spending the whole day at the beach, we were headed out when we came upon this scene. The water was so still on this inlet, the reflections enhanced the shape of the lily pads floating on the surface. We had to climb out onto a bench hovering over the water for the best view. Taking care to not drop my pen or brush in the water, I slipped them in my pocket between steps. I drew out the scene first with my fountain pen, and then washed in the values with my waterbrush pen. The sun was fading fast, but oh how I would have loved to paint this place, too. Painting number 1652 in 1652 days.
