Softly Flowing Waters

$

There is something sustaining about being around water running softly through the woods even if you aren't wading in it or drinking it. The sight and sound of the water bubbling over logs and stones is relaxing, and the shade is soothing. When I was a child, I was excited to wade in temporary streams formed in otherwise dry ditches from the early spring thaw, and disappointed when they didn't become a permanent feature of our farm.

I hope when you look at this painting, you get a sense of what it's like to feel a soft warm wind as it ruffles the leaves in a sunny day, and to hear the water rushing around the roots of trees.
