Mountain Stream Print

This is a pallet knife, oil on hardwood painting of a mountain stream in late afternoon. I opted for a loose impressionistic style as it captures the sense of energy and movement of the fast flowing stream. I discovered a small pallet knife was also really good for capturing the mood and atmosphere I was going for. Mountain streams are somehow somehow active and in this case noisy but still soothing to observe. That constant flow of water in a very secluded area brings to me a sense of well being and solitude, great for connecting completely with the present moment and a sort of oneness. I'm okay with towns and cities but nature is really a breath of fresh air from the usual hustle and bustle of daily life.
