Russell Baker - The Mississippi at CR-441 - Oil on 11 x 14 Canvas Panel

The Mississippi at CR-441 – Another painting from northern Minnesota. This location is about a half a mile east and upriver of my cousin Mike’s home and very close to my childhood home. It’s where the Mississippi river crosses under county road 441 just south and west of Blackberry, MN. I took a picture of this location while traveling in the area August of 2011 before the leaves had started changing colors so I had to improvise somewhat to paint the location in full fall colors. As a child this was a favorite fishing location for me and I’m sure other children from the same area. I can’t count the hours I’ve spent fishing all those decades ago from the shore near where the boat is located in this painting. I really enjoyed painting this one and I hope you all enjoy taking a look at it. Your comments are welcome.
