This is a close up look at "Dragon's Paw Island", a painting I did a year before. I work from photographs, but like the other painting, I could have done this one by memory. We spend a lot of time fishing walleyes on the 30' drop off right up against the rock. The light that bounces off of the rocks on to the water and back on to the rocks is dazzling when you are up close, under the overhanging rocks.
