Description
"River is time in water; as it came, still so it flows, yet never is the same." -Barten Holyday
A river can be a force of power, and it can be a haven of peace. For landscape artist Diana Thomas, the Susquehanna River is a never-ending source of inspiration, healing and hope. With a goal of painting a river scene every week for at least a year, the artist embarked upon a project that plunged her from the joy of art to the grief of losing her daughter as well as her son-in-law. This book is the culmination of that time along the river, with 50+ images, journal entries and poems.
Current Color on the Susquehanna River takes you along the author's journey from an artistic challenge one winter, through the search for well-being, to finding beauty in a river that, like life, never stands still.
As you view these paintings and read these words, you too will feel the river tugging you-always relentlessly tugging you-forward through life's changing but constant seasons.
