I was very cold when I first got there, but it seemed to warm up a little soon after. The colors were very muted. Occasionally the sun would warm up the color of the water and I tried to catch that. I felt that I overworked the sky. It rained on the way home, so we had just enough of a dry window to paint. I was glad to get out after not painting for so long.
It is so important to maintain the kind of discipline you have with your painting. I have to admire anyone's determination to paint on good and bad days. It does not show in this photo, but you captured the orangish/pinkish light reflected from the clouds onto the water, and thus the whole mood. All in all, this is a pretty brave closeup!
