Pausing along the river, I found this tree, water and rock-filled composition. Returning later that afternoon, I discovered the scene had completely changed. The sun's light now brilliantly backlit the golden leaves, contrasting with the deep shadows of the shoreline and the tall, vertical shapes of the tree trunks. In this scene, I wanted to use the various tree and rock shapes to divide the picture plane in an interesting way. The large boulders in the foreground add variation to the still water while the clouds that mimic the boulder shapes unify the painting.
