This is a serene painting of a river in Vermont. Here we are looking upstream on the Black River, the covered bridge down stream behind us. The composition follows the gentle curve of the river as it tucks into a bend bathed in warm light. The sun catches the leaves of the late summer trees and glows on the exposed rocks of the riverbed. The light on the shallow waters contrasts with the deep forest shadows and the path it illuminates leads us into the painting.
