Still in Quarantine
Sometines subjects for paintings just happen along the
way. No extended painting trip, just something that you
see that stick in your mind. Trout fishing - which I have
never done - is one of these subjects. It is almost always
somewhere off the beaten track. A gentle flow of water
and a single dedicated fisherman. The painting of rapids
was just downstream from the fisherman. Water was
running over tumbled rocks in the form of gentle rapids.
The top painting is of a mesquite tree with milkweed blooming at it’s base.
These trees are an invasive species, but I find them beautiful, lacy, with entwining limbs and often serve as a shelter for other plants at their bases.
