Fall Line

Oil on Canvas 30"x40"     $350 + s&h

This painting was a follow-up to "Belle Isle Dawn."  In fact, as I would come to the same rocky perch some twenty-thirty yards out into the James River to record notes, sketches, etc. to inform my painting of the Richmond, VA skyline at dawn, I would later do the exact same thing, this time looking upstream.  As you can see, a half-hour's difference in time and an 180 degree turn in direction can make for an  entirely different feel and painting altogether.  That was the point.   "Belle Isle Dawn" gave me an exercise in painting architecture that I was not used to.  It was good to have but entirely unnatural feeling for me.  And in "Fall Line" it was good to get back to painting nature by capturing the James River's class four Hollywood Rapids on canvas.
