| Wellsville, NY Posts: 164 | Hi Everyone, It appears I made a mistake and added a topic unintentionally. To make up for it, I'll post a recent watercolor "May On The Genny" Hope all enjoy it. Mark | |

| Indiana Posts: 212 | Where (general area) is the stream that was the inspiration? Perhaps I should recognize the name "Genny," but I don't. It reminds me of some streams I know from New York. | |

| Wellsville, NY Posts: 164 | Thanks all for your comments and positive feedback. Konchu, The Genesee River runs south to north through NY state. It's beginnings originate in PA, close to the NY/PA border almost directly south of Rochester, NY. It's best fly fishing -trout waters are in the southern most area from the PA border north to Belmont NY in Allegany County. Right now, the river is bare bones because of lack of rain, but since the water is open all year long, we can get some early and late fishing in. The river also has a 2.5 mile NO KILL area. I added two other paintings inspired by the river in the original post. I live in Wellsville, and the Genesee River Runs Through It--literally. Mark PS IEatimago--the original painting I posted and the last one in the three are small about 14" wide by about 9.75" high. When matted correctly they come out to 20" wide by 16" high. | |

| Pleasant Gap, PA Posts: 604 | I have a late uncle from Honeoye Falls whose favorite drink was a Genny from the Genny. I have another uncle from Wellsville, believe it or not. Not a real big town from what I hear. -Shawn | |

| Fairbanks, AK Posts: 1147 | Great paintings! That makes me wish I had driven over to fish the Genny while I was still in Ithaca. You would have liked to turn your brush on the places I saw this weekend... the Brooks Range in fall colors is amazing! | |

| Fairbanks, AK Posts: 1147 | Wow, Jason - Fall up there already. Must be cool. I spent Sunday through Wednesday going up to Deadhorse and back, the full length of the "haul road" (Dalton Highway). I drove all the way through fall -- it's just starting here in Fairbanks and already finished in Deadhorse, peaking around Coldfoot in the Brooks Range. The drive is about 490 miles both ways, and most of that is gravel. It's got to be one of the prettiest drives in the world. I'll have some great pictures up on the site when I get time to process them. :) | |

| Wellsville, NY Posts: 164 | LAM, Yes, right on Main Street and still pumping out those Texas Hots among other food. As far as I know, the Hot is still operated by some of the Rigas family. Walk by the shop any time of day or night and it makes you HUNGRY. Lunchtime it's usially packed. JOHNW, Thanks so much for your kind words. In fact I'd like to thank everyone for their complimentary comments. Jason, it's a shame you never fished, here. I'm looking forward to your new photos. Thanks all, Mark | |
