Title: Afternoon Calm on Clark Fork        
Medium: oil on canvas
Size: 20 x 24
Artist: Robert A Ferguson
Value: $2000

Artist Comments: This is on the Clark
Fork almost directly below my studio.  I
enjoy fishing and swimming here.  I was
not sure if it would make a good
painting.  I like the way it turned out.  It
has a nice sense of luminosity and I like
working with the reflections.  I would
like to do it at sunset as well.
