Painting No. 3-A-13
8" x 10"
oil on canvas board
Today was my day off so I went up the Colorado River along Hwy 128 known locally as "River Road" to a campground at a large bend in the river called "Goose Island". The temperature was 17 degrees but the scenery was beautiful and the traffic very lite. The Colorado River doesn't freeze over very often, the locals actually drive out here to see it....it's that rare, but with sustained temperatures below freezing for about 6 weeks the river can't help but ice over. As I'm painting I can here the water gurgling under the ice as it works the small ice breaks into larger chunks. It wont be long before it's flowing on the surface again.
