Near Novo Mesto, Slovenia is the village of Otocec. It is situated along the Krka river and sitting on an island in the middle of that river is the Otocec Castle. Today the castle is a hotel, but non-guests can still walk the grounds. On the day that I visited, the river was flowing very slowly, so slowly that near perfect reflections were created on the surface.
I took the opportunity to sketch the castle while my companions observed a swan building a nest along the bank.
When I returned home, I created this painting. It reminds me of the gentle water and those beautiful reflections.
