Shadows on Mineral Creek

A painting by Susi Havens-Bezaire completed on June 22, 2013

This tributary had lots of debris at the head waters which added interesting elements in the distance. I painted with Faith Revell and she informed me that a brown bear and her 2 cubs were frequently seen here. So we parked our cars in a "V" and painted in between them. I liked how the lowering sun produced long shadows on the glacier water from the shoreline trees.
