Calm Water, Autumn Light

about 9x9 pastel and watercolor on Uart paper $100.00 plus tax and shipping
The square format normally has tension: it's not a horizontal or a vertical. So what happens when you paint the calmest, most tranquil landscape you can on it? Hmmmmm. I love the square!

I absolutely love when the river is moody like this. It's one of those places you can paint over and over, always finding a new perspective.

July 30, 2008 River Glass

approximately 17x12, pastel and watercolor on board
This morning was a real hot one by the river. It was only 8:30am and 95 degrees. That kind of heat and stillness brings a special kind of calm and beauty to the river. It's only me and the birds and butterflies. It's worth all the sweat.
Can you feel the very still heat in the painting?
