"THE SHIMMERING BEND" by Kasey Nixon

In this painting, I aimed to capture the dancing light on the water of a stream near my home that is a place of peace and solace for me. On this October day it seemed like the entire world twinkled and shimmered in the low autumn light. Water is always a source of inspiration for me, and also a great challenge as a painter. I am also endlessly inspired by the shapes and character of the river channel and the cottonwoods, willows and other riparian vegetation.
