It is February of 2022.
It is still winter and often cold, but there is the occasional warm day which cheers the spirit and brings with it the promise of spring.
And on one such day, I got my painting gear and took a walk along my local river.
I love my local river.
It’s my nearest source to fresh air and nature.
Anyway, I walked along the river bank until I came to the scene in the painting above.
I thought it was quite an engaging scene.
I especially liked the warm golden color of the winter grass against the cool blue mountains in the distance.
The river in the foreground is an interesting feature as are the distant and somewhat dramatic high rises in the mid-distance.
I was very happy with how this painting turned out.
Even after 15 or so years of painting, each painting is still a very hit or miss affair.
That’s all for now,
Gareth.
