Found at the bottom of a steep decline was this small winding river. It offered a cool and shaded spot on the shoreline for some painting. It took a few trips up and down the hill to get all of the materials in place. In spite of slipping down the hill and getting my skin scraped up it was overall plenty relaxing. This location offered a moment away from the view of others, but was still within hearing distance of the road. This is the 20" x 20" original studio version of the 8" x 8" plein air original that was produced on the shoreline. It is richly textured and multi-layered in cool greens and muted oranges and yellows. The strong light focal point is echoed in the light froth of the lower rapids. Tie a hammock between any 2 trees and kick off your shoes. This impression with a fantasy leaning is guaranteed to calm your soul.
This painting, the plein air 8" version, and others are available for purchase at ChrisGeremia.com.
