Open Edition Fine Art Print — Artist-Directed Color-Variant Edition
I created A River Runs Through It 2, print as a lighter-palette color-variant edition of my original painting A River Runs Through It: the same figures moving together through water toward the cross-like light, held now in a cooler, more ethereal field of pale gold, soft blue, and aqua — the river of life rendered in a quieter, more contemplative key.
Available sizes: 12 × 12 in; 20 × 20 in; 24 × 24 in; 30 × 30 in; 36 × 36 in; 40 × 40 in; 48 × 48 in. Available on paper, canvas, metal, and acrylic. The 48 × 48 in size is available on metal only.

A River Runs Through It 2, print is a square open-edition fine art print by Anne Reid Artist, adapted from the original 2024 painting A River Runs Through It as an artist-directed color-variant edition. Human figures move through pale crossing-light within soft blue, aqua, and gold fields, creating a contemplative image of guidance, companionship, spiritual transition, and shared hope. Available as a made-to-order fine art print on paper, canvas, metal, and acrylic in sizes from 12 × 12 in to 48 × 48 in, with 48 × 48 in available on metal only.
Artwork Statement
I created A River Runs Through It 2, print as a quieter, lighter square edition of the river-crossing theme. The figures move together rather than alone, held within a field of blue water and golden light. For me, the river is both obstacle and passage: a place of transition, renewal, and companionship where one person reaches, another steadies, and the way forward becomes shared.
The pale central light carries the sense of invitation. A cross-like mark in the distance quietly anchors the movement, so the piece reads not simply as landscape or abstraction, but as a spiritual passage toward hope.
The scripture thread behind this work draws from Ezekiel 47, where a river flows from the Temple and brings healing to everything it touches — deeper and deeper the further it goes. Psalm 46:4 speaks of the river whose streams make glad the city of God. And Revelation 22:1 names it clearly: the river of the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God. The pale, luminous palette of this edition carries that crystalline quality — the river not as flood or wilderness, but as healing, life, and the gladness of arrival.
Variation & Edition Notes
A River Runs Through It 2, print is an artist-directed color-variant edition of the original painting A River Runs Through It. The composition, figures, cross-like light, and communal river-crossing structure are preserved faithfully. The palette has been shifted toward a cooler, more ethereal register — the intense yellow-gold and deep cobalt of the original give way to pale lemon-white, soft aqua-blue, and diffused light. This edition was made to present the river-crossing theme in a quieter, more contemplative key suited to spaces where a softer, more luminous atmosphere is preferred.
Color & Mood
Palette: soft blues, pale aqua, pale green, yellow-white crossing-light, and warm gold — cooler and more ethereal than the vivid original. Mood: reflective, hopeful, companionable, calm, and gently luminous. The image reads quietly from across the room, with figure movement and layered texture visible up close.
Design Notes
The square 1:1 format gives the composition a centered, meditative presence. Grouped human figures suggest guidance, mentoring, crossing, and communal movement. The blue-gold field balances water, light, and spiritual threshold imagery, while the pale palette of this edition gives the work an especially serene and room-friendly reading in modern interiors.
Where It Works
Living rooms, bedrooms, and studies where a calm square focal point is needed are natural placements. Entryways, hallways, counseling spaces, prayer rooms, and meditation corners benefit from this print's quiet transitional energy. Hospitality, wellness, chapel, and spa-like spaces are strong placements, especially when ordered in metal or acrylic for humidity resistance.

Bathroom Suitability

Integrity Notes
Edition type: open-edition, artist-directed color-variant edition of the original painting A River Runs Through It, 2024.
Original artwork:A River Runs Through It, 2024, acrylic on canvas, 24 × 24 in; private collection.
Color variant: the palette has been shifted toward a cooler, more ethereal register — pale lemon-white, soft aqua-blue, and diffused light — compared to the vivid yellow-gold and deep cobalt of the original painting.
Composition integrity: the communal river-crossing structure, grouped figures, cross-like light, and circular vessel are fully preserved; no compositional alteration, crop, AI generation, or stock imagery is used.
Print preparation: standard photographic and editorial preparation for print readability, including color, tone, cleanup, and print-ready refinement.
The river in this image is not calm because nothing is happening. It is calm because the crossing is being made together — one figure reaching, another steadying, the way forward held in shared movement toward the light.
