birches literally cling along the north shore of the steep embankment of the black river just east of coopers falls; one let go and while still held to the shore by its roots was bobbing out in the silent swift black waters currant that the river is at this point; isolating the birch n it’s reflection made for a perfect abstract idea worth painting. Wendy jumping up and down on the birch causing rippling reflections made it into a series…..

(am sure some of these done on panel, were previously posted here; the work on paper is new)

the only watercolour of this where you can feel the stillness of the air in the silence
