Woodland Stream

The desire to create "Woodland Stream"  came from walks with my daughter in a local park (Fall Run Park in Glenshaw/Shaler area of Pittsburgh), with the summer sunlight streaming through branches and cool water rushing over worn rocks and dead wood jutting through the water's surface. 

It was fun moving the paint around, feeling the flow of light and water as the passage of time sculpts the streambed.

When I started this painting, it was winter, snowing and just plain cold. I wanted to try a nature abstract, and started thinking about those warm weather walks. So I loosely brushed in the warm colors, adding more colors of dark blues with a bit of brown, then cool refreshing teals.

It's 20" H x 16" W x 1" oil on canvas, with painted sides and a wire hanger so it's ready to be displayed in your space. It's totally okay if you want to add a frame later. I recommend a floater frame which lets you see the entire painting unlike traditional frames.

High quality prints are available as well.
