Swift Water 1916 — Fine Art

Swift Water 1916 shows a moving river caught in quick strokes. The water runs diagonally across the surface with a few darker breaks where the current turns.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. Short lines at the edges suggest reeds or low branches held by the flow. The brushwork moves fast and leaves a rough edge on the paint. Tom Thomson worked in this way when he painted water and trees in the north woods.

The frame finish can follow the room, so a light frame sits on a dark wall and a wood frame goes beside wooden furniture. Hang it at eye level on a blank wall where daylight comes from one side.
