Smith River

The inspiration for this impressionist piece came from the Smith River, Crescent City, California in the Redwoods. Often, I would hike down through the tree lined paths to areas along the Smith River up and down Highway 199 to some of the most beautiful, secluded spots. Rafting down the river you could experience the crystal clear water below. The Smith River is one out of only two un-damned rivers in the United States.
