“FRASER RIVER 3” by Clint Howard

The water runs wide beneath the steady gaze of the Rockies' high peaks. Sunlight dances across the surface, shifting from deep blues to soft reflections of meadow and brush. Golden willows and late-season grasses frame the riverbanks, their warm tones a counterpoint to the cool clarity of snowcapped mountains in the distance. This painting is about the way river and mountain hold each other in balance. The river moves with energy, bending and flashing with light, while the mountains anchor the horizon, quiet and enduring. Together they create a rhythm that feels both timeless and fleeting, like a song carried on the current.
