This was awarded 3rd prize by juror Charles Newman at AOY 2026 Plein Air Open: Paint Our River Towns. Juror's comments: "This painting catches my eye because of her variation of paint textures. She is NOT afraid to lay it down. Juicy! The large rock mass in the foreground brings the eye into the motif with an 'S' shaped design. I see an interesting parallelism of the left side being natural and organic with the right side being man-made. Also, I noticed an interesting anomaly where the water leads to the house. Is the water coming out of the house? Is there a water wheel? I don't know, but I like it!"
