River's Dance at Verde River at Rezzonico Family Park, Camp Verde, Arizona

River's Dance at Verde River at Rezzonico Family Park, Camp Verde, Arizona

“Be like a river. Be open. Flow.”
- Julie Connor, ‘Dreams To Action Trailblazer's Guide’

I had recently discovered the river was only 10 minutes from my house. I was exhibiting my paintings at the Camp Verde Community Library. Rezzonico Family Park shared the drive to their parking lot. To my amazement, the river flowed right there! I couldn't believe I had lived in Camp Verde for five years and never knew this. The inspiration to paint there was seeded. After painting this painting, I coordinated a Plein air workshop. I partnered with the library and the Parks and Recreation Department. How thrilling it was.

I think this painting exudes the joy I felt during painting by the flow of the river. Everything seemed to dance that day. I hope you feel it when you view this painting.

Plein Air Painting - Verde River at Rezzonico Family Park, Camp Verde, Arizona

 

Verde River at Rezzonico Family Park, Camp Verde, AZ

This Plein air oil painting is dry and ready for its forever home. Painted down by the river at Rezzonico Family Park in Camp Verde, Arizona, it was a joy to paint. I had recently discovered the river at this location. I was so excited to get down there and paint.

 

I'm accustomed to painting mountains and the desert, so painting water is new. The location was magical.

 

I hope you love it. Please leave a comment and let me know. Thanks!
