FOG!

By Claudette Gammon


Here we are talking about my Island life again, for another year, at least.


Since we are able to summer here, especially now that my husband is retired, the view doesn’t change. How we do love that view, and staring out at it with our morning coffee, is always a delight. We never seem to get sick of it.


Therefore when it comes to something to paint, I have been told, paint the view.

Over our 40 plus years here I have painted the view, six ways to Sunday, BUT I hadn’t painted it in fog.

It is now that time of year to do just that.



The lake is still warm and the nights are cool. We either wake up to dense fog, where you can’t see the lake or the fog is rising around the mountains and islands.

I did try that this season. However, I have to admit I didn’t paint as much as I would have liked, because it was a very hot summer. I don’t function well in the heat and humidity, but I hope you enjoy my few efforts.
