River Reflections

River Reflections
Oil on panel, 6x8
Wisconsin
On the way up to Door County, we were looking for a Subway restaurant.  Seeing the sign on the highway, we turn off.  Due to construction, we were rerouted, and sent over a gravel road that looked like a dead end.  Before finally finding the Subway at the end of this wild goose chase, we had to pass over a bridge overlooking this river.  It was magical!  After grabbing a quick salad - we rushed back and parked along side the road to capture the image.  The sweet golden light had faded into the darkening sky, but it still had a peaceful beauty.  All things work out in the way they are meant to.  Perhaps this painting was the reason for all the detours.  This one makes 224 paintings in as many days.  Things are going to be real busy out here over the next few days, I hope I can continue these daily paintings.  We are hosting a civil war reenactment of Quantrell's Raiders.  We will have soldiers and horses encamped for the weekend.  My artist friends will be coming to capture the event in paint, and I hope I will have some time to do this too.
