This is an island located in upper Whitefish Bay near Twin Islands.  It is a very small island with some interesting rock formations and one lonely White Pine that has lost its top.  It sits out in the open away from, but surrounded by a lot of larger islands.  Because of its position, it can be seen from a lot of locations which often fools me into thinking that there must be two similar islands.

Over the years I have often photographed it and this is my second, and probably not the last, painting of it.

The view from our front deck this morning shortly after the early morning fog lifted.  No ice on Long Bay (Lake of the Woods) yet, but some of the smaller lakes have frozen over.
