Two Book Reflections

This is where the La Crosse, the Black and the Mississippi rivers meet.

Water is so changeable it challenges a painter. Which moment to capture? How do you indicate flow?

It was a cold morning, though sunny. I decided to paint from this stone patio in the International Friendship Garden on the La Crosse waterfront.  I like the quiet flow on the La Crosse river where it merges with the Black River. Notice the color change as well as the surface texture. In the distance is the Mississippi.

I saw some gulls and a few boats.

Fortunately watercolor can be reworked, if it’s not overworked. That’s a delicate balance.

“Three Rivers” is the title.
