Double Bluff is everyone's favorite walking spot. We take our dogs for a run, watch for Rainier, judge how much the hill has slipped and hope children don't climb the bluff while we are watching.
It's also a draw at any time for the changing light. I have sketched it a lot, but the most memorable was on a freezing February when the sun was around behind the bluff at about 2pm. I decided to drive by because it was a "sunny day", freezing but sunny. I took out my sketchbook and made a 20-minute sketch with watercolor noting the light reflections on the great puddle, then went home and made a larger painting. That painting is in Watercolor and is at the bottom of this page. The others are oil paintings.
