This painting captures the serene expanse of the Cannonsville Reservoir as seen from what I've always thought of as "the opposite shoreline" - looking back from Route 10 past Sands Creek Road. Broad, textured strokes give form to rolling hills, touched with autumn tones, while the water reflects a luminous sky alive with drifting clouds. That afternoon, the scene balanced stillness and movement — a moment of quiet majesty where land, water, and sky converge.
The layered impasto (palette knife) technique invites you to step closer, revealing subtle shifts of color and texture that echo the natural rhythms of light across the landscape. It’s a work that speaks both to the grandeur of nature and the intimacy of a lived, observed place.
The original painting has been donated to the Hancock Community Education Foundation, to learn more about them visit their site here.
