“Silent Cast” | The Mad River | Clint Bova

“Silent Cast” | 18x22 Oil on Canvas | May 2025

Along the banks of the Mad River during the spring storms I always find myself in awe of the extreme weather patterns in the Midwest. Being born and raised in the Hawaiian Islands I did not quite plan to stay very long here but there is a kind of lonesome beauty here that fuels me. Rivers are much more intimate to me than oceans but both have captivated my interest since I was a little boy.

thank you for letting me share for all these years!
