Portage River in Fall

The Portage River runs past my parent's house in Elmore, Ohio, and is a constant source of inspiration when I visit. This morning, while the grass was still very wet with dew, I walked down the hill and to the water's edge just to get this vantage! So worth it! So many of the trees are showing off their yellow foliage - the reflections are stunning! I first sketched this out with my Pitt india ink pen in sepia, and next filled in with watercolor. Using the hot wax for some movement in the water, I have left this one rather loose and liquid. I think I will try to paint several of the river while I'm here! Painting number 670 in 670 days.
Love how rustic this looks. It give is character. :)
