PEACEFUL STREAM


Painting completed in: 1983

Christmas 1983. As I hurried along one day, I passed a stream and on the spur of the moment turned around and went back. I walked down to the water and watched as it trickled on its way. I marveled at the ever changing patterns and reflections, I listened to the soft sounds as the water flowed thru the rocks and I felt at peace. I returned to the highway and got back on my way, still in a hurry, but in a much calmer frame of mind!
