This is the first of a series of 6 digital paintings of an expressionist vision of a river scene.  The river is the West Fork of the Little Kanawha, and it flows through the region of West Virginia where I live.  I love to walk along its banks, and sometimes in it when the water is low enough for the sandbars in it to be exposed.  There I can dream and feel the spirit of the untouched waters.  After heavy rains, the water runs wild and I dream vivid colors.  This is what I show in these paintings.  Shot with a Canon XSi camera.
