When we first moved to our home in northern California the creek was dry. I walked down to the bottom of the creek and started to walk the creek as it runs through our property. I had only taken a few steps when I heard a very loud noise and then I saw a huge buck deer. He had been sleeping in the dry creek bed and I had surprised him. He surprised me as well. Since then I think of the words, Creek Bed, as more than the bottom of a dry creek. The creek bed was indeed a bed that day. The music from the flowing creeks serenaded me all day and made for, "A Painting Day".

Wonderful subtle colors and so luminous. So fun to hear about the deer sleeping in the creek BED!
I love that the creek bed was the "buck bed" that day and I love the painting.

Hello Theresa and Barbara and Nancy, Thank-you so much for your comments.
This is a very clean and peaceful abstract painting!
Interesting piece and I love the back story. The dry mud in the creek must've felt cool.
