On The Rocks At Johnson's Shut-Ins

$600.00

Multitudes of slate-colored rocks crowd the creekbed, each one smoothed by seasons of water and time. Shallow pools thread between the stones, mirror-flat in places, catching perfect reflections of the shoreline—gray-brown trunks, the soft green of undergrowth. In the clear shallows, pebbles and larger cobbles reveal themselves in layered patterns, their cool tones punctuated by the occasional rust or mossy green.

The creek’s edge is backed by dense woodlands: a tangle of trunks and branches that rise abruptly from the bank, their darker greens and shadowed hollows forming a stark counterpoint to the pale, stony riverbed. Sunlight, when it finds its way through the canopy, dappled the leaf litter and throws warm highlights across some rocks, making them briefly gleam against the otherwise muted slate palette. The overall scene is a study in contrasts—soft reflections and hard stone, moving water and still forest—quiet and elemental, a place that feels both weathered and alive.
