Not In Progress

The Middlebury River in October
M. Flannery 2022
31" x 24" acrylic on stretched canvas

 This painting is finished and signed. 

In a fews days or longer, I might change the right bank, add fallen branches, weeds, and/or more sand. It is 5 AM EDT. I am not keen on that, but daylight will tell.

The right bank needs no additional paint. It is funny how it is place of deepest shadows that can only be seen well in the brighter light. The distant trees, though, could use some trunks.

  1. Gorgeous! Love it! How one can start with a blank canvas and create such beauty always amazes me.

  2. To my eye, the painting is lovely, but to an artist such as yourself, there are possible more additions or tweaks to be made. As presented, it gave me an image of autumn by the river much like the scenes by the Nashua River here in NH.

  5. Thank you all y'all 🙂

    Marie,
    I am sure from your lovely photos, you could take up painting and do very well. Your blog banner, to me, is a work of art.

    Beatrice,
    Along the Everett highway, I think it is the Nashua River, going north on my right, there are old brick factory buildings. On the left is an old neighborhood like I grew up in. The scene has been in my to paint memory for decades. Thank you fir the reminder.

    Hugs, Debbie
    Ohio is in my art heart always.

  6. What a joy it must be to paint the Fall season in all its colorful glory! For me it is a joy to sew this beautiful season. Your painting looks wonderful. I am amazed how the painting changes appearance with the time of day.

    *so glad you found your keys when saying the Saint Anthony prayer. Thank you for telling me. He is one of the first Saints that I got to know. And I've loved him ever since. : )

  8. Thank you, Annie
    Your quilts are beautiful.
    It is strange how light in a painting parallels light in the room.

    Thank you, Sheri
    The process was interesting.
    Still, I am relieved it is finished.

  9. I love the texture of the leaves and you nailed the light (and the water -- so hard!) It's hard to say they are done sometimes, isn't it? Walking away and different light are always good strategies! I love it as is. But it won't be right till it's right for you!

  10. I love the autumnal warmth you portray by oh those foreground reflections are something else! The light is gorgeous. I have had a long look with it on a bigger screen and it really is lovely. Best wishes.

    Thank you.
    The challenge was worth it. I learned, and, have a better sense of my painting process.

  15. Well done! Now I wonder what you will do next. Surely there's another painting clambouring for your attention...if not several. I know once I finish a landscape I'm never at a loss for ideas for a new one with the only issue being just which one.
