This area was incredibly lush green despite being on the outer edges of summer.<br /><br />I'm pleased that the effect of the shallow river running over rocks comes through in this painting.Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-66658499431832927632011-09-16T13:01:25.666-04:002011-09-16T13:01:25.666-04:00Loving your photographs, Sonya.

I want to follow that path!<br /><br />The painting came out well - I can almost hear the water rushing over the rocks!Debbie Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00267734938299378975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-10388258038392013232011-09-16T12:15:28.754-04:002011-09-16T12:15:28.754-04:00Thanks, LeAnn.

I'm glad it looks somewhat convincing!<br /><br />Hey Dan - thanks! Those background trees...you always do those so well, and I was thinking: "WWDD?" when I was working on them. More later in email. This piece would have been well-served using some Wallis, I think. <br /><br />Hi Sheri - thanks so much! And I'm glad you enjoyed the photos; they're sort of an integral part of the whole experience for me :).Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-60377418887961567412011-09-15T22:17:17.225-04:002011-09-15T22:17:17.225-04:00I like your soft edges and great color.
