Whispers by the River's Edge

This painting is a window into a place I know so well: my grandparents' backyard in the Nebraska Sandhills. As a child, I spent countless hours gazing at this tranquil view. Walking towards the water's edge, a quiet calm would give way to the gentle symphony of nature. The sweet songs of birds sweeping between feeders and trees, the soft hum of insects, and the gentle whisper of the wind through the tall grass all came into focus with every step. At the river's edge, a well-loved dock and welcoming bench offer an invitation to slow down, breathe, and simply be. This painting is more than a landscape; it's a quiet whisper, it's an invitation to experience peace.
