A plein air painting of a  golden summer afternoon and evening spent overlooking a small cove off Deception Pass, looking toward Whidbey Island, WA.  Several sailboats came briefly and went as I worked.  (Maybe subjects for a future work?)  As the sun lowered, the wind dropped and the water became a near perfect mirror.  I was left alone with one tiny anchored boat and an intrepid canoeist in the distance.  I am sure we were both enraptured by the brilliant golden light.
