Summary

A River Runs Through It is a square (1:1) open-edition fine art print that captures the flow of life and regeneration. Painted in soft blues with luminous golds, it evokes atmosphere, movement, and everyday encounter. Created by Anne Reid Artist, this piece brings calm energy and a sense of direction to homes, businesses, hospitality, wellness spaces, and curated interiors. Available on archival paper, canvas, metal (ChromaLuxe), and acrylic; sizes from 12×12 to 48×48 (metal only).

Artwork Statement

I painted A River Runs Through It for a woman whose campground became the setting. The river represents life itself—regeneration moving through her land. People come for camping, family, and rest; in that atmosphere they also encounter presence and renewal. The central figure reflects her leadership and care, guiding others with her work. Blues carry the steady flow; warm light marks direction and hope—an everyday crossing toward the future.

Color & Mood

• Azure, ultramarine, and pale aqua with accents of gold light.
• Atmosphere: hopeful, cleansing, companionable.
• Read: calm and bright at distance; gentle layering up close.

Design Notes

• Square 1:1 format anchors a quiet procession along the waterline.
• Soft gradients and diffused highlights retain water texture without glare.
• Center-weighted glow guides the eye forward, suggesting wayfinding and care.

Where It Works

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

Pairing Ideas

• Cool, contemplative counterpoint: Advent 7, print
• Warm radiance to balance the blues: Covered by Glory, print
• Movement/river dialogue for a cohesive set: Deluge, print
