Flumen: One Thousand Words [liz]

River in the Night
acrylic on poster board

When the river is deepest it makes least noise.
:: Proverb

Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.
:: Winnie the Pooh

What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn't have any doubt - it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn't want to go anywhere else.
:: Hal Boyle

Flumen - Elizabeth Janik

  3. Really beautiful, Liz. Love the impending storm of the sky and the stalwart resolve of the river.

    Is there a hidden path on the hillside?
