"Afternoon at the Creek"

6x8, Oil on canvas

I have done a lot of driving this Spring and Summer looking for places to paint. I have had days where I set out to find a subject and have driven until I was no longer in the mood to paint. After one of those long fruitless jaunts I came home and remembered a path to the creek that runs behind my neighborhood. I have now painted there a few times. It is close, and the changing light and seasons should keep me going for a while.
