Welcome!

Welcome! This blog will chronicle my efforts to document, through my artwork, the landscape and the buildings around me. I hope to learn about the history of the beautiful place in which I live and to share that with others through sketching, painting, and writing.

Buy my artwork! I maintain a website where all of my affordable artwork can be viewed and purchased easily. The site is here: Libby Fife Fine Art

As is often the case, there isn't any specific history that I could find associated with Wrinkle Cove at Hogan Lake. People can swim or fish here of course and I have parked and hopped onto the nearby walking trail. Those rocks in front are there to prevent people from driving onto a particular area though I did see a car parked out on that point in the middle distance. Earlier this year when we received so much rainfall, Wrinkle Cove was closed. There was just too much water and it wasn't safe I suppose for parking or swimming or fishing. What attracts me to this area though is the sunrise. The sun comes up right over the hillside and splashes across the water to the banks on the other side. It is beautiful; overlooked I think too during the off season. I imagine that when the park is at peak season, people enjoy that sunrise every morning. I hope!

If you know anything about Wrinkle Cove, send me an email.
