I have just finished a commission on another waterfall painting. This particular falls in Oregon was visited by the client and her husband so has special meaning. It was an especially interesting waterfall to paint because of the different characters of the cascades.  Also the bridge, with its shadows and highlights introduces a sharp contrast with the water. It was very exciting to paint. I focused in on the bridge and the falls just behind it to draw the eye into the painting and give it depth.

    I liked this painting so much that I immediately did another of the same falls called Misty Waterfall. Here, I made the cliffs and waterfall softer and added mist coming up from the water and snaking around the mountains. Misty Waterfall is a painting that I will be offering as a Giclee print in February.
