| Jammin' on the Black River 8x10 oil unframed $75 |
An unusual opportunity presented itself as the Black River waters changed their course emptying into the Tank Creek. The sandy bottom of the river bed allowed you to walk instead of paddle from Hwy 35 boat launch up river a couple of miles. The journey ended at the log jam, were we set up to paint. We met many other enthusiasts who took the opportunity to camp or hike. It was nice to see families and dogs also taking advantage of the rare event.
