Sometimes paintings stay with you for awhile and some leave rather quickly. For the past few years I have had a "Seasonal Sale" and this year I was happy that two paintings found new homes.
The first one the purchaser had looked at before and wasn't quite ready but this year he said "Yes, I will take it!" I was glad because I know he loves the outdoors and spends time teaching an outdoor Biology class each summer.

The second painting went to a friend who lives near the river it is a view of. It is a dark painting with light along the horizon, not unusual during the summer evenings. We get the most beautiful views at sunrise and sunset!

River Sunset - Oil
|
Recently - well before the snow, which came way too early this year, I wandered along the river behind the university buildings. I walked a path after crossing the railway bridge along the river past a ravine and to class each day for 6 years. A beautiful walk, and I was reminded of its beauty by looking closely at the shrubs and grasses as they wound their way down to the river. I also went further along the river and sat on a huge rock at the river's edge. It was quiet and beautiful.
This is my first of, I hope, a number of scenes close to the river. A 10 x 10" acrylic.
Three different views - three different mediums - three of my favourite paintings.
