Color Etching: Martel Islands, Thompson River

When the river is crowded or I am tired, cold, or in need of a break I stop at this view and watch the river below. Usually there are anglers fishing the riffles along and between the islands. From the distance across the wide river I cannot tell if they catch anything unless the fish jump. I have sketched this enough that it was a natural choice for my first color etching.
