Lake Austin Piers

Lake Austin Piers, 5x7

SOLD

Our friend and fellow Plein Air Austin member, Cindy Ridge, hosted today's paintout. Her shady Lake Austin property was one of the few cool outdoor spots around Austin today. Torrential rains earlier in the week and today's sunny skies made for a hot and extremely humid day. Luckily for us the water temperature in this part of the lake is around 70º at the moment, thanks to a release from Mansfield Dam, upstream. The water temp and a slight breeze kept Cindy's shady yard nice and cool. When can we come back, Cindy?

It's a great time of year in Austin. I've lived here on and off since the sixties, and sometimes it's still hard to believe how many beautiful spots there are within five minutes of the center of town. West Lake Beach is one of them.
