A wildly expressive study of a riverbank in motion—branches bending, color dancing, and light breaking through in unexpected ways.

This piece feels immediate, almost breathless, as though it were painted quickly on site to capture a fleeting moment. The brushwork is bold and layered, with rich greens, blues, and warm earth tones colliding in that unmistakable French way—instinctive, alive, and unconcerned with perfection.

Painted on board, likely as a study or plein air exercise, it carries all the energy of the moment it was created. These are often the most compelling pieces—the ones never overworked, never tamed.

It’s not polished. It’s better than that.
