Yakima River

Here are a few images documenting the progress of this painting. It’s still a work in progress, but I’m pretty close to resolution I think. The mood is almost there: a storm moving in over this mighty river, an image from last July.

It could be the Colorado, or the Snake, or the Green River. There’s just something about a river, particularly when you live in the West. It’s a blood vein, a refuge, a lifeline.

I’ll post the final outcome on this sucker. It’s 36″x60″, oil on canvas.
