San Joaquin River

San Joaquin River oil on canvas 11" x 14" July 2009

If it doesn't look like water, that's because there is none. Instead this is a river of sand, the water being completely diverted to irrigation and other uses. Supposedly water has begun to be released to restore flows but it is still dry here. It's a complex ecological and political problem.
