           This is the scene Phil was painting.  These two peaks form the Twin Sisters. 
   They derive this name from the shape of their peaks, which look like two
faces laying on their backs, looking up to the sky.  Can you see them?

If you look where the red arrow is pointing, you will see Phil hard at work painting this

Even though it was foggy a lot of the time, the coast provided beautiful scenery to put
on canvas.
