This was a painting of Stockton Lake during the 2012 drought, August I think.  De Munden, Susan Neese, and I were painting on a gravel road location next to the lake.  A lot of extra beach because of the drought.  The line of rocks is usually underwater.  I always wondered what was under the beach water.  Now I know.
