Creek Run, oil en plein air, 14 x 11"
Well, let me tell you- these wooded scenes are a challenge. This was painted during the last week of Autumn when I was looking around for something to see and couldn't take my eyes off the white of the water, the copper of fallen leaves and the cool neutrals of tree bark. There is something so compellingly beautiful about seeing water and trees just doing their water and tree thing. There was a steep bank just behind the trees and I knew that that little creek of water had been working away there for a very long time to get the ravine down to its current level. And all it had to do was simply be itself.
