Summary

A River Runs Through It 3 is an open-edition fine art print that evokes the flow of life and regeneration. In layered blues with accents of luminous gold, the composition suggests guidance, care, and an everyday sense of encounter. Created by Anne Reid Artist, it brings calm energy and direction to homes, offices, hospitality interiors, wellness spaces, and curated galleries.

Artwork Statement

This work follows the river as a path—steady, spacious, and moving toward light. The elongated format lets the eye travel; figures and gestures resolve into a quiet procession of support and wayfinding. The palette is intentionally breathable: cool water tones layered with warm highlights that suggest hope and responsibility. It’s about renewal meeting ordinary life—how people arrive for rest and community and find themselves carried forward.

Color & Mood

• Pale aqua, ultramarine, and slate blues with soft gold accents.
• Atmosphere: restorative, companionable, contemplative.
• Read: calm at distance; gentle glazing and lift in the highlights up close.

Design Notes

• Elongated composition emphasizes forward motion and wayfinding.
• Subtle textural breaks in the water keep the surface lively without glare.
• Warm focal glow guides the eye, balancing the cool field.

Where It Works

• Entries, corridors, and stair halls (welcoming, directional focal point).
• Living rooms and offices (calm presence with a sense of forward motion).
• Hospitality, cruise ship, and wellness spaces (water/renewal theme).

Pairing Ideas

• Square companion in the same theme: A River Runs Through It 2, print
• Warm radiance to counterbalance blues: Covered by Glory, print
• Dynamic water conversation: Deluge, print
