River Departure

I originally had planned this painting to be a much more panoramic and wide format view, but during closer inspection I found a "painting within a painting." In this vertical image, I juxtaposed the upright tree shapes against the horizontal groupings of boulders and downed tree limbs. The border edge of leaves that frames the right and upper left corner adds a window of contrast and depth to the view.
