water

This image is from a tent card that has been sitting on my bookshelf forever. Unfortunately I can't say who the artist is because the back of the card was mysteriously torn off. However, I love this painting of water and sky - so calm and beautiful - I don't think I'll ever get tired of looking at it.

Janis, goodmorning!

what I love more about this painting is that at the back, after all, there are no water mountains, it ends well for us who swim

thank you
