Wow, this one is so beautiful and more representational than some of your other work. That merits a conversation. Certainly the feeling of the rushing water is very powerful and immediate and then the tension in the sense of depth is interesting and a contrast. The colors are vibrant and rich but that’s true throughout your paintings. So fun to see your work evolve, Russ.
What kind words and insights! Many thanks. Discovery is a big part of what motivates me, and I think my best work is to come. I would love a conversation!
One of my favorites! Love how you set off the busy land with the churning blue water. Works so well!
Thank you, Jan. It is a process, but I keep finding inspiration along the river, and I am learning all the time. I appreciate the encouragement.
One of my favorites too. I know this River and that valley and you have delivered it to me.
I am so glad to hear it. Thank you. The river lives within us!

wonderfully familiar section of the river. beautiful colors.
Thank you Holland, who knows the area so well. I appreciate it.
The complementary brightness of field and river are so well-balanced and feel integrated. The fallen trees are a story of their own.
This size is good for you! Bigger is actually better for this! What the eagles see…!
I enjoy painting on larger canvases, and it fits my physical style. Hopefully more to come. Thanks for the kind words and feedback–always helpful.
