Over Lazy Waters

I finally got to finishing the last few bits of this painting, just in time to turn them all in on Tuesday. This is from a canoe/kayak day-trip down the river with one of my best friends. At this point on the river, he and his daughter got out of their canoe and climbed this tree that hangs out over the river. I was fortunate enough to snap some photos of the scene for later, and painted this picture to remember the scene. I love the big sycamore so much, and the small figurative elements go a long way towards establishing some scale in the painting.
