Middle Fork Fall

Back to the Middle Fork for today’s painting, to what became one of my favorite late fall runs on the river.   The two braids coming together here created perfect habitat for fairly good sized cutthroat and rainbows plus a few mountain whitefish and all were willing to grab kebari until at least late into October.

I did this piece in oils when I was “in training” for the challenge but wasn’t too happy with the piece so I decided to do it again in acrylic and see if I got any better results that way.  I actually like the acrylic version better than the oils but I also spent a lot more time on it.
