In late summer, the Stones River becomes shallow, and clear, and still.

I like to walk along the river at all seasons, and this year I stopped to sketch the water. Those sketches became a painting, and PleinAir Magazine chose the painting as a winner. You will find it at the Quinlan Visual Arts Center, where it will be on auction as part of their 2026 Gala. Many thanks!
