This recent painting by me speaks to peace and beauty in nature, in a moment of solitude. I show the Mississippi River and its surrounding bluffs before humans came to this lovely area of the world. The little pathway is for the animals who moved along the river, foraging for food and partaking of its generous waters. Birds are in the picture. You can't see them, but they are there, the birds who thrived before the influx of imported and invasive birds.
This painting is in oil, measuring 16 X 20" unframed. Copyright 2011 by Dolores Marusarz.
