Creek Bed In Winter, Oil on canvas panel, 5"x7"
http://zanbarrage.com/creekbedinwinter.htm
This creek bed is close to our home. It is dry most of the time except for rainy parts of winter and spring.
I wanted the energy of the branches to be the focus of this little work. There was a lot of brush in the creek bed of course, but I wanted to reduce the elements to what I needed. The houses are also higher than they are in real life. The hill is not that steep, but again I wanted to accentuate the “V” effect for design purposes.
