Storm Coming in on Arkansas White River

 
 
Arkansas White River is not to far from where I live. I visit at least once a week this wonderful calming river. Painted from a Photo taken last spring. I am really longing for that kind of weather again so I just had to paint this. I could almost smell the rain while I painted.

"Old Fashion Roses" Oil Painting on Canvas by M Ashley

I painted a lot of roses for years, so many that I stopped and started painting landscapes. It feels much like painting an old friend now.

"House on the White River Cotter Arkansas" Original Oil Painting on Canvas

 
 

This house sets across the river in Cotter Arkansas at the Big Springs put in ramp. The bluffs rise up in the back of this house. This time of the year you can see parts of the bluffs through the trees, but during spring and summer it's lush with green. The river is usually gently rolling along unless they have opened the gates on the dam at Bull Shoals, as is the case on this particular day.
