Freestone Lake

The Freestone Inn at Wilson Ranch is a place that our family has been going to for over a decade.  Each year Catherine and I rent a small cabin along Early Winters Creek for 4-5 days and spend our time hiking and, of course, I fish.  Each August we rent the Steelhead Lodge home and have the entire family up for a week on the lake.   This year we had a lot of gray skies with rain and fog instead of the usual crystal clear blue.

This is the view from the far end of the lake, a spot that Cadence liked to fish from because she could get out on the rocks and to the deep water where the bigger trout were cruising around.   The main inn is straight down the lake from these rocks.  The photo actually had Cadence fishing but after my runner issues yesterday I didn’t want to chance another figure and mess the painting up.   I did this one in acrylic as I will do all the rest of the paintings, only 10 to go!
