About this artwork

I often paddle my Kayak on the Rockaway River near my house in NJ. The river is quiet and peaceful having a lazy current most of the time. I was paddling westward following the river upstream. I always enjoy the beauty of its banks in the autumn. Needless to say, I was struck by the way the late afternoon sun illuminated portions of the northern bank just before a bend that would end my journey. I could not resist the urge to beach my kayak on the pebbly southern shore to take it all in.
