River Bottoms

Painting No. 144
River Bottoms, Carson River
Eagle Valley, Nevada
8"x 10" oil on linen panel

Cottonwoods grow thick along the river, creating a park-like setting. A mixture of trees, grass and sagebrush.
Last Friday we had strong winds and cold overnight temperatures which stripped most of the leaves from the trees, and gathered blankets of orange and yellow leaves to cover the grassy flood plane along the river banks.
