Here’s a little oil painting I did of a gentleman on the Crystal River in Colorado. The little river is one of the most beautiful there is. To top it all off, there is a campground right on a portion of the river. Last summer Kathy, my wife, and I stayed there for a couple of days so I could do a little painting and fishing. As I approached this segment of the river, I caught this figure in the shadows sillouetted against the opposite sunlit bank. I knew immediately it would make a painting. I may use this idea for a larger studio painting.
