I was fascinated by the shape of the island in the water. There was a strange mix of urban and wildlife sounds near this Urban Island. The cool cloudy morning was so peaceful and serene with the various birds swimming and diving into the water. It was really wonderful to paint here.

I try to capture the feeling of a place when I paint and am still figuring out what I want to say with each painting. Trying to find my way and certainly getting lost at times, but I feel with this one, I did get the essence of my experience there. I feel the cool quiet of the place. 7 1/2 x 12" Oil on Panel

You did capture the "feeling" of the cool morning. It's a lovely painting.
