River House

"River House," oil on panel, 12x9

As we commonly do, we visited friends in southwest Virginia last year. Their summer home is literally on the bank of a river, maybe thirty feet from the water. You can go out into the crystalline stream and cool yourself. The bottom is rocky, the surfaces worn smooth by eons of flowing water. 

This view of the house if from about the middle of the stream, so you see the house and trees and distant hills beyond as well as the boulders and stones of the bottom. This painting is literally wet and still on the easel.
