BEND IN THE RIVER

 


Just to the west of us, the river takes a bend to the south and continues for some time before swinging westward again. Rowers ply the waters daily both upstream and down and once a year there is a rowing competition which is enjoyed by all. Since this area is part of my daily walk, I am often on the  look out for views that I think might make an interesting painting - this is one of them. I especially like the tree that hangs over the water. Here on a clear evening, reflections are cast in an appreciative way and this along with the quiet mood was the impetus for this work. Size is 11 x 7.5 in (28 x 19 cm), watercolor on arches paper.
