River Reflections
Oil on panel, 6x8
Wisconsin |
On the way up to Door County, we were looking for a Subway restaurant. Seeing the sign on the highway, we turn off. Due to construction, we were rerouted, and sent over a gravel road that looked like a dead end. Before finally finding the Subway at the end of this wild goose chase, we had to pass over a bridge overlooking this river. It was magical! After grabbing a quick salad - we rushed back and parked along side the road to capture the image. The sweet golden light had faded into the darkening sky, but it still had a peaceful beauty. All things work out in the way they are meant to. Perhaps this painting was the reason for all the detours. This one makes 224 paintings in as many days. Things are going to be real busy out here over the next few days, I hope I can continue these daily paintings. We are hosting a civil war reenactment of Quantrell's Raiders. We will have soldiers and horses encamped for the weekend. My artist friends will be coming to capture the event in paint, and I hope I will have some time to do this too.
Beautiful and inspiring art style and works, Tammie. Thank you for 'river reflections' it was pleasure to read it.

Your river reflections painting is beautiful, Tammie. I am always amazed at how you can do these paintings. Also, I'm glad your boat painting from last week was chosen to highlight PPF this week.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting! It's fun when a 'detour' brings you to a lovely surprise. Good luck with the reenactment, and your daily paintings!
