The lake and the stone hut

One morning down by the rocky edge of the lake waters in Tahoma, I spied a stone hut, possibly a boat storage hut perched above the water line and out of reach from the cold lake waters...my favorite part of this drawing is the deep green darkness of the silhouette of the trees...

Lake Tahoe, Da Ow A Ga, dock and swimmers, divers and gazers...

...the completed painted view of the wood dock at the Sugar Pine Point State Park beach, Lake Tahoe...The Native American Washoe tribe inhabited the Tahoe region years and years ago and considered the area as the epicenter of their universe . The Washoe called the lake and the area "Da ow a ga", roughly translated to "edge of the lake". The first white visitors to the area heard the sounds and mispronounced this name, and called it "Tahoe". The name remained in this Anglicized form until present times.
