Set in the heart of McCall, Idaho, this watercolor gouache painting captures a mountain stream alive with the colors of fall. Golds, ambers, and russets spill from the trees and underbrush, mirrored in the clear, burbling water. Overhead, a cool winter sky filters through the forest canopy, weaving light and shadow into the scene. The result is both invigorating and serene—a fleeting moment when autumn’s warmth meets the crisp breath of the season to come.
