This painting was started in the traditional way, with acrylic paint and a brush. Then I put the river in using my fingerpainting style. It is way to early for autumn but I had a lot of reds and yellows so this is what I came up with "Autumn River". 36in by 48in on gallery wrapped canvas. William Boyer at the Backporchgallery.

Nicely done.. the water has a real flow to it, and seems to tumble through the forest and over the rocks with a nice flow, and all the autumn colours you have chosen are perfect. Great work. :o)Bev Chudey 23 Jul 2007

Beautiful work. Absolutly gorgeous scene. well done.David Letterman 23 Jul 2007
The perspective on those green trees are freaking me out a bit. The water looks good, but seems awfully large compared to those green trees. The red and yellow ones match fine, but those green ones are tiny.helen tyralik 23 Jul 2007
