Big Fishtrap Cove

6x12

Big Fishtrap Cove is in Olympia and it can get pretty shallow at low tide so you have to watch  your depths.  Needless to say, we didn't take our sailboat in here!  It's this beautiful watery oasis that not a lot of people know about.  I was excited to paint this.  The water was like glass that day, so the reflections were amazing. I wanted to create more excitement in the foreground so I used a number of darker hues to create that.  I also wanted to create more visual depth so I used blues and little violet to paint the distant trees.  I'm really happy with the way it came out.  I hope you enjoy it!
