"Mill Creek Trickle" depicts a quiet stretch along the Mill Creek arm of Table Rock Lake, captured in the stillness of early spring. The cool, clear water winds its way between sunlit stones, reflecting the crisp blue of the sky and the soft golds and browns of awakening woods. Bare branches and budding trees hint at the season’s slow shift, while the dappled light across the creek invites a sense of peaceful solitude. Inspired by a day of fishing in this secluded Ozark setting, the painting captures both the quiet patience of the angler and the quiet beauty of the land.
