I came across this photo on my hard drive and have no idea where it came from. Way back when I probably saved it for the same reasons that made me want to paint it now: that classic clapperboard boathouse, the dirt boat access road and that big puddle!

Taking a walk on Hilton Head Island last November brought us to this big pier right after some rain at sunset. So many things about this scene were screaming for me to paint it! From the dramatic sky, to the warmth of the railing lights and reflections on the wet pier I could hardly wait to get home and start painting.
