I painted this for a friend at her request from a snapshot she gave me.

8. Thank you so much, Ocelot!

I had to really fight the temptation to add things or change things. I did make a wee change in the sky by adding the bright yellow area over the dock. Otherwise it is exactly copied form the photo.

I think the painting is simply gorgeous. So realistic and 3-dimensional.

I have been there, too, and indeed you are right, it is paradise. Sounds especially good right now since winter is right around the corner.
