The Path to the River Painting

The inspiration for this painting is the view from my back yard along the Snake River in eastern Idaho. The sunsets in this area are very often spectacular! The combination of consistent cloud patterns, air density, seasons, and warm light more often than not make for amazing sunsets. I have found that photography just cannot capture the true nature of these amazing natural works of art. I can come closer with my eye and a paintbrush. Any viewer who loves beautiful sunsets and sunrises will connect with this image. It is large enough to command attention even in a large room. Oil was the medium of choice because of its subtle hues and intensity. It is painted on primed wood panel. The style is typical of my work: realism, but not quite, bordering on impressionism in technique, and expressionism due to the saturated colors. This painting was done primarily with palette knife so there are areas of texture that add to the 3 dimensionality. The perspective and color values are accurate and the composition is interesting and well balanced which means it will be enjoyable to look at for a long time.
