Autumn on the Riverbank

Now Available! A forest of hardwood trees compete for colorful attention as each displays autumn glory along the rocky banks of the mountain river.

In this painting, the artist layered glazes of oil paint to add luminance to the colors. Some areas are carefully blended while others are applied with a painting knife to set in contrast the rich texture. Painted on a 10" x 10" gallery wrap canvas, the water flows around the 1.5" deep edge, adding more dimension to the piece. This piece is wired and ready to hang in a favored nook, but also perches well on any mantle, shelf, credenza or desk. All materials in this oil painting are of archival quality for lasting impressions.

One of a series of oil paintings on natural waterways by Pat Cross.
