I painted this in crazy hot weather by standing in the water under a bridge to survive the 100+ degree heat. I have great memories from the day, I just kept dunking myself fully clothed in the water to stay wet, and I just had to be careful not to get carried away by the currents. Good times.
This painting is framed in a beautiful custom-made solid wood frame with a warm silver leafing. The painting is from a trip I took (in 100-degree weather) to the American River in the foothills of the California Sierra mountains. You can read more about the trip here:
