"DRIFT BOAT" by Alicia Tredway

While painting along the Eel River at Tooby Park a drift boat appeared on the scene and I was able to get a quick photo.  This was about the second day after a big rain and the river was just barely fish-able.  They were in some rapids here but some nicer fishing holes were just ahead. The river is such a wonderful color in winter after a rain and is a natural complement to the red of the bare willows.  I used lots of palette knife work and it measures 8 x 10 inches on canvas panel.  1/29/11 Re-listed on eBay.  To bid CLICK HERE SOLD
