Reflection , by Nita Leger Casey ,copyrighted 2009 , 6x6 oil

the reflection of a simple tree in the water ,just like a mirror is always fun to do .
I cleaned part of my basement today where I keep all my frames ,why does the style change so fast , all gold frames all wood frames all black frames , styles always changing drive me crazy!
the storage the money involve is another thing. But that's the business we are in , It is what it is !
Thinking of going up north the colors are really changing , and I need a few days in the woods before it gets too cold. This little painting would make a perfect present for someone .
