This breathtaking oil painting captures the serene beauty of the Mill River in Look Memorial Park, Florence, Massachusetts. Based on a photo I took on a warm summer day, the river is depicted at a low level due to a drought, revealing its rocky bed and exposing submerged stones, sand, and branches. The gentle gurgling of the water is palpable, and the green leaves and grasses are captured in both shade and sunlight, their beauty further enhanced by the reflection of the water. This painting captures the natural beauty and tranquility of the Mill River, and is sure to evoke a sense of peace and serenity in any space it occupies.
