Last weekend we went out again plein air painting at the Sheep River just a little way out of Calgary. It was a perfect day for painting outdoors.
When we arrived at the river, we noticed a really beautiful trout/tag painting done under the bridge, a very sophisticated work of art:
Here's the painting I made, downstream from the beautiful fish tag:

Reflections and shadows on water are so beautiful: semi-transparent, shape-shifting, always in motion. Like this whole world, hey.

Love the painting and description. The trout/tag painting looks like the work of Veronica Funk. A lot like her work.
Yes the reflection on water is wonderful. Love how you took something simple and made it majestic -- or truly present.
XOXOXOXOXO Barbara
Thank you Barbara! I loved the triangular shape of the rock + reflection, and am quite pleased with how I managed to paint the water, always a difficult thing.
Yes, the graffiti does look like Veronica Funk's work! Very colourful and nice energy.
