6" x 6" oil on board
Back to the junction of the Bullpasture and Cowpasture Rivers for this one. Just upstream from the location of my last Junction painting in Highland County, VA. I had to wade across the river to get to a rock ledge where I stood to do the painting. The rocks are SUPER slippery so it took all my skill to make it across without dumping myself and all of my painting supplies in the river. Sarah and the kids were downstream floating around and hunting for crayfish - my dog Rainey was laying in the shade beside me.
Super tough to capture sufficient detail without over doing it, especially when your kids are calling for you to help them catch crayfish. Regardless, this was one of the best days in recent memory. The more time I spend painting beside a river or sitting neck deep with a beer in my hand while my kids look for creatures, the better. Hey look - there I am!
Damn I am jealous
