River Sunset by Martin howard (2005)
Watercolour, 40.6 x 30.5 cm, 140 lb Fine grain paper.
Hönsarvet, Borlänge, Sweden.
When I first moved to Sweden, I had just a five minute walk to the river. There is a nice wide and well-kept path, that runs alongside the river and on many summer evenings, I wandered down to the river with my family, to escape the confinement of the flat where we lived at the time. On this particular occasion, we must have walked too far or gone out a bit late, because it had started to get dark and the sun was going down. The reflections of the sunset in the river were very pretty. We were hurrying home before it got too dark and the mosquitoes came out for supper, but I kept stopping to look back and to take photographs. I wasn't very popular as you can imagine. I was rewarded though with a very beautiful photo which I was able to recreate with this painting.
