Mill Pond Reflections

This painting was inspired by a scene near an old Mill Pond used to contain logs for milling. This pond is near the mouth of Ayum Creek outside the town of Sooke.   The still reflections of the dark forest, gold and green grasses along with the old wood structures served as a perfect composition.
This is an 8"x 10" oil painting on linen mounted on a wood panel. No longer Available
