When I saw this scene, I was taken by the crispness and clarity of the reflection. Fortunately I had my camera. After twenty or more photos at different heights and angles, I had enough information to do a painting. A few minutes later, the wind kicked up and the reflection was gone. My challenge was painting the water as a smooth color gradation from blue to deep purple.
