Bend in the River / Granbury, TX by Martie Rains

Bend in the River
11x14 oil on canvas
     Another beautiful view in Pecan Plantation, Granbury, TX. My husband and I were exploring along the banks of the Brazos River when we came upon this wonderful scene. The winding river in the background gives the painting depth. You may purchase this piece by clicking here.

Great Lakes Sunrise



Sunrise at St. Ignace

9x12 oil on canvas

    Since "Sunrise at St. Ignace," introduced in a blog in August, is one of my favorite paintings, I thought it was worth repeating. St. Ignace, on Lake Huron, Michigan and a gateway to Mackinaw Island, is a wonderfully quaint little town to visit. Early one morning, I shot this sunrise from beginning to end as it illuminated the lake. It's amazing how each sunrise or sunset is unique but all have same thing in common...brilliant splendor! Though I don't think anyone can capture their true beauty, it's a challenge to try. You may purchase this painting at a special Christmas price by clicking here. View my art at the following show:
