Slender tree trunks rise gracefully through a symphony of foliage

reminiscent of rippling water and the delicate rustling of grasses in a gentle breeze

From the first impression

When I question what is it I love so much about the painting

Juanita Bellavance, On the river bank, 2020, Acrylic on panel, 12 x 12 inches, framed. botanic Slender tree trunks rise gracefullyAs I made this painting I was concentration on having as much variation in it as possible. Intuitively I shifted the dark and light values of color. As happens so often, it was after the painting was complete that I experienced the sense of river about it. I love the varied textures, patterns and tones throughout just like the banks of a river might be with its mossy areas, pebbly areas and rippling water areas. I could sit and study this painting
