My friend Jeff sent me a photo he took down on the Ohio River at Madison. The photo captured the feeling of a late August afternoon when the temps are high and the humidity is oppressive. The humidity adds such density to the atmosphere that it makes for great visuals. I went to the studio to try and save a still life I had started. That turned out so so but I wasn't satisfied with my days work. I decided to do a small, fast painting before I left. The goal was to emphasize the sun's glow in the water and the subtile changes in the values relating to the countryside.
