This painting began en plein air along the banks of the Shenandoah River in Virginia. The artist completed the painting in further detail from her studio. On this late spring afternoon, sunlight warmed the colors of the trees lining the river. The calm meandering water reflected the surrounding foliage. This original oil painting was created using professional grade paints on gallery-wrapped canvas. The painting includes a varnish seal to preserve the painting and a wire hanging mount on the back. This painting is not framed.
