Antelope Island From Black Rock

Black Rock is a rock formation on the south shore of the Great Salt Lake in Utah near the marina. I've often traveled to this spot even though the road for the last half mile or so is not maintained and rather rough on my non off-road vehicle. The land around Black Rock allows for a perfect view of Antelope Island across the water. I once sketched this view a couple years ago in pen and watercolor, earlier this year while on vacation I decided to go paint it. I decided it was a good subject for the palette knife and tried to lay the paint on as thick as I could. Being near the marina meant there was a good likelihood I'd be able to get a sailboat into the painting, and I did. All and all it was a very pleasant morning spent on the shore of the Great Salt Lake.
