As I pulled up to watch the sunset over the lake, and relished in the peacefulness of the almost empty parking lot, the one other car released this lovely young woman, who I had believed was there for the same reason.  She left her car, and as she looked at the sunset, wandered into the lake's edge.  Deeper she moved until she stood almost in front of me, as if a paid model.  She took up residence in the lake during the temporary golden light of the sun that day, and I had to paint her for eternity.
