Here Marina gives us the red gravel that's been washed into the Big Indian Creek in the foreground. The painting was created at the Big Indian Creek and measures 8x 10 inches. The White clouds float by in the sky and the the trees surround the water. The painting sits in an ornate frame with a warm rustic feeling. Overall, the frame measures 9 and 5/8 inches by 12 and 5/8 inches.
