    Here I am again on the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos, one of my favorite subjects.   I hiked at daybreak down the river bed a couple of miles west of Highway 84 southeast of Post. It was difficult going because of the mud and quicksand. 
    This painting went through several stages.  I replaced the sky and tried several foreground ideas before discovering a balance that I like.  It is 22 by 40.

I love the red color of the Double Mountain Fork. Your paintings certainly capture this beauty.

Also, I have a few photos on Panoramio:
