By the Creek is an original impressionist landscape painting — 24" × 18", oil on canvas — by Washington, DC–based contemporary artist Maria-Victoria Checa.

By the Creek draws you into a luminous forest clearing where golden-green light filters through tall, slender trees, illuminating the woodland floor in warm yellow and chartreuse. Blue and violet wildflowers cluster at the base of the trees and along the banks of a quiet creek that winds through the foreground, its surface catching the soft light filtering down through the teal canopy above. The atmosphere is cool and still — the particular hush of a forest on a summer morning, before the heat of the day has fully arrived.

Painted in oil with expressive palette knife and brush work, By the Creek is rich in surface texture and tonal depth — from the glowing yellow-green trunks at the center to the misty teal of the canopy and the jewel-like blue flowers dotting the forest floor. It is a painting that invites you in and holds you there.

A work for collectors who love green landscape painting, forest interiors, and the quiet beauty of light in nature.
