Vermont River

Continuing my exploration of tranquil landscapes, this painting was inspired by the rivers of Vermont, where I spend my summers swimming and hiking. Motivated by my earlier mountain-and-lake painting, I wanted to further explore natural landscapes and created this piece from the base of a hill, showing streams flowing downward through layered forest terrain. Using paint, layering, and highlights, I built texture and depth in the water and surrounding trees, strengthening my use of organic shapes and perspective to convey the calm, immersive atmosphere of nature.
