Watercolor on paper
14.75” x 6”
Behind the spillway of the White Pines dam, San Antonio Creek runs free in the Stanislaus National Forest on its way to the Calaveras River. In this watercolor, that moment of release is the subject. When human control loosens its grip and the water becomes a living current again.
The composition leads you along the curve of the spillway into the quiet pool beyond, while a weathered pine leans into the scene, echoing the movement of the water below. Soft layers of blue, green, and warm earth tones create a sense of late-day stillness, balanced by the gentle energy of water slipping over the edge and gathering itself downstream.
This painting brings a grounded calm into a space. It holds that subtle tension between structure and freedom, making it a thoughtful piece for anyone drawn to the meeting of human intervention and natural flow. The horizontal format works beautifully above a desk, sofa, or bed, offering a wide, restful view that invites the eye to travel.
For collectors who love quiet landscapes with a sense of story, this piece offers a familiar but often overlooked moment—where water finds its way, no matter the boundaries placed around it.
I’m going to be honest. This is an unsual size. This ships without a mat, so you’ll have to have a mat specially cut for it, and perhaps a frame.
Shipping is included in the price. Only ships to the United States.
