Private Moment

Painting Description

Sunlight filtering through the trees beside Boomer Creek provides a tranquil, private moment only 50 feet from the road. The stony edge of the bank offers a lovely fleeting pattern.

There is privacy with the arms of the trees lining this creek that languidly winds through Mennonite country. I wanted this light-touched treatment to convey that fleeting moment.

This painting and Summer Cottage, Image #PS184 use a dry brush with a very rough surface to create a more lyrical, less definite image. To me they seem (I hope) more poetic and less factual…poetry versus prose. Let’s see where this leads.
