Route 612 in Highland County, VA, just beyond the low water bridge that cuts across the Bullpasture River. One of my favorite paintings of one of my favorite spots.

Low Water Bridge - State Route 612 III
8" x 10" Oil on board
I'll let the photo below make my excuses for me. The guy in the blue chevy truck with the camper top had given up and Rainey went under the car shortly after I took the photo of my easel. I stayed mostly dry because I was under the rear door of my car but rain was blowing in on my easel and board and it was getting cold. I actually like this painting, though. It's a little abstract and I like the colors and the mountain peaking through in the upper right. I hope I haven't complained too much about standing by a river and painting one of my favorite spots on earth. I really think it's what makes life worth living.

Sure, I said painting a scene a second time lets you see things you didn't see the first time, color mixtures are realized, values, etc. But...the rain...the old man in his blue chevy truck with the camper top, who could have parked on the other side of the road instead of directly in your line of sight...excuses. It was really enjoyable, actually. And there are things I like more about this painting than the last. But painting ripples in a river is hard and clearly I need more practice at it.
