Don’t you just want to be sitting in this spot listening to the bubbling brook as it passes you by? I was drawn to paint this because of the warm glow of the sun hitting the trees on the far bank. I just love how it makes the birch trees turn almost yellow, and there’s just this feeling of warmth throughout the whole thing. I also love the reflections in the water and the snow in the foreground with its stalwart little bushes poking through the snow.
Winter River Series
This painting is the second painting of six in the Winter Rivers series. I took my golden, Moto, on a hike in the woods in late March. I was snapping photos of all the trees but then I crested a small hill and saw a running river before me. I literally gasped at the sight! I took so many pictures of the river on my afternoon adventure. The day was perfect, the sun was shining and the water was running, which you don’t always see in winter in Minnesota. I had this overwhelming feeling of joy that whole afternoon. I stayed out on that hike for over 4 hours, just taking in all the sights and sounds, getting exercise and fresh air, and capturing this special time of year. This series captures that hike, as I followed the meandering river while the sun was making its way to the horizon.
There are six paintings in this series and any of them would pair excellently with any of the others, making them the perfect paintings to be purchased in a set.
