Thank you, Lynn…such a nice way to say it. The more I worked with this one the more I liked it…for the colors as you mention but also the soft reflections and the many tree branches.
The title…🙄 I don’t know where that came from but it occurred to me that I knew the riverine way to New Orleans from that point…there are five rivers including this one. I would be less confident starting out on the road without a map from the same location.
Absolutely, the reflections draw me in. That’s funny about land vs. water travel. The first time I really thought about the difference between the two was when I worked as a camp counselor one summer and did a canoe trip down a river – I think it may have been the Delaware – for several days. I was blown away by how different the world was from that point of view – both the visuals and the pace.
Beautiful, Mic. I love the darkness, the greenness the orangeness, the blueness, the blurriness, the sharpness, and the mood.

This one reminds me of Rembrandt!
Thank you. Your comments, along with many other things, make me wish I had paid more attention in my art appreciation class long ago…😞
Never too late to learn… the internet can be quite a helpful teacher. 🙂

Thanks for the link, Eliza. 😊
Such subtle colours.
Thanks, Geoff.
Oh, I’m game, Mic, that is a beautiful waterway! Those warm, quiet, calm colors give this so much atmosphere.
