Anchored at Thimble Islands

I drove out to Stony Creek Harbor in Connecticut off the southeast coast of Branford. Just off the coast sits a chain of over 100 islands called Thimble Islands. The size of the islands vary from acres wide to just small rocks and the dwellings on them range from large mansions to a tiny hut. My intention that day, was to hop on one of the tour boats that cruise the islands and get a close up look of these unique islands. Unfortunately my timing was off because the tour boats had closed for the season. I was disappointed about the tour, but I was still able to get a few pictures of the closest islands to shore. This area inspired me to paint "Anchored at Thimble Islands".
