A Glimpse of the River Beyond


In spite of the renewal of intense activity surrounding the start of the school year, I actually have had time to paint. And, in fact, to return to some "one day" paintings. I will post them here as I photograph and scan them.

This painting was only really a half-day painting, as it is quite small - only 16.5 x 25 cm., and composed of very simple elements. A shepherdess lifts her head over a dry landscape to catch the sight and scent of a refreshing River beyond the desert which surrounds her.

Acrylic paint on Arches paper, with cotton, silk and beads.
