Stephen Lyman - Riparian Riches - Masterwork Anniversary Edition Image Size: 56"W X 16"H. Edition Size:63 - Published From The Artist'S Original Work - ‘Riparian’ Refers To The Life Zone Along A Waterway Or A Lake And The Riches Are All The Life Inhabiting That Zone From Beneath The Dappled Water To The Foliage In Treetops. “I Wanted To Do A Very Long, Wide-Angle View Of A Slow-Moving River Because I Really Enjoy Painting Crystal-Clear Water With Reflections Including The Textures In The Foliage On The Opposite Side Of The River,” Said Artist Stephen Lyman. “I Purposely Shortened The View To Include Just A Peek Of The Sky, Because I Wanted The Viewer To Feel This Landscape Intimately. There’S Sand, Lichen On Boulders, Leaves, Trunks Of Trees, Grasses, Roots And Many Other Things. It’S Almost Like A Still Life. Even The Bird, A Great Blue Heron, Stands Motionless In The Water, Waiting For A Fish To Come By For Breakfast. I Chose Him Because Of His Quiet And Patient Personality.”
