This reminds me of the creek that ran alongside my house when I was growing up in Austin, Texas. There was one part of it that had similar stones and I would sit and watch the water there.
This is a wonderful rendering of that experience. I'm curious -- what size work is it?
Thanks for your comments and I'm glad it brought back some memories for you. The image size is about 10" x 15". Thanks so much for visiting and by the way, I really like your photo's of South Pasadena. Always pleasant to look at.
Hello Doug, The refelection of the light on the water actually makes it look as though the stream is flowing. The poet spinner can see why you found it mesmerising, and the colours make it even more inviting. Beautifully painted. ;-D
Stacey, this was a fun painting to do. Catching the reflections on water sometimes works and sometime not. This time it did. I also like the two chutes where the water is running through was what drew me to the subject. thanks for your wonderful comments.

This reminds me of hiking the narrow in Zion National Park a few weeks ago...except I couldn't see the rocks under the water!
Such beautiful blues!

Kelly thanks as always for coming by

Nice to have you back. I always check

You are absolutely right, it is mesmerizing. I can almost hear the sounds of the water - such beautiful colors from this angle.
Sorry for my long absence - during the week there is much to do between city and country. Thank you for your visits! They are most appreciated.
