"The Double Umbrella Cabin"

Another from a recent 

Linnyland painting/swimming adventure 

on Saltspring/Salt Spring Island.

From the middle of the lake,

where an Osprey circled and visited during my swim, 

I could see a little blue cabin that I thought I'd like to paint.

But later, when I set up to paint, I discovered that 

there was a tree that blocked the view

of the fine little blue cabin. So, this is

somewhat of "a recollection of that cabin, 

combined with moving a different cabin 

down the mountain side and closer to the lake, 

plus the addition of a couple of yellow striped

 straight out of Linnyland umbrellas type of painting". 

*And, just for a "fun" challenge 

I thought, "I'll forgo using any red paint";

whenever I try this, 

(and all the while that I paint),

my inner voice screams out,

"NO RED - WHY, LINNY, WHY?!!"
