Art Notes

As I sit staring out at the beautiful oak trees along the Mississippi River, I imagine a serene setting in a time before this amazing escapade. As I listen to the engines of the stunning Mississippi riverboat, I imagine Miss Memphis cruising down the river in all her splendor with the sunset and the Memphis Bridge at her back. As I gaze awestruck at the gorgeous scenery surrounding me, I notice an elegant plantation further inland. While we gently pass this amazing site, I see a young Huck Finn floating by on his raft, off to many adventures of his own. Listening to the water fall from the ever-turning turbine, time slowly passes while my imagination takes me to simpler times. I then knew that I had to capture this amazing palette on canvas to share with the world. This piece invites its audience to partake in a relaxing adventure along the Mississippi River, in a time where our troubles cannot come to be a nuisance.
