Inspired by my time exploring the water on the western side of Santa Catalina island, just off the coast of California. I was on a 3 day camping trip, and after a long grueling mostly uphill hike, the cool water was a welcome respite. Our campsite was just a short walk to the beach. In the morning, I woke up, grabbed my camera, sketch book, and goggles, and went exploring. This painting is inspired by the morning light rising over the "inland" mountains and reflecting onto the water.
