"Cascading Water I"

You will swear you are standing right there in the river, watching the watercourse gush towards you. The first in a series called “Cascading Waters”, this river rock wall art portrays the flowing peaceful splendor of a clear stream rushing along its path to the Pacific Ocean like no other artist. Are you a designer? Notice how the artist has painted the earth tones in the foreground, while exhibiting blues and cooler colors into the shadows. This wall art is a great way to accommodate a transition between warm gold, tan or brown, and a cooler palette. Notice the attention to details in the moving water. The distortions on the surface and the glimmers on the bends induce a cleansed feeling. Although a collector has purchased the original oil painting, you may acquire a limited addition archival quality reproduction at a remarkable price. The reproduction has been signed by the artist and hand enhanced.

Comments by the Artist: "Recently, I traveled up the Big Sur coast to a beautiful waterfall about 15 minuets North of Ragged Point. Having visited there before, I was impressed with how beautiful it was. Although the massive waterfall was breathtaking as it cascaded over the rugged natural terrain, what was most memorable for me on this visit were the beautiful sections of bubbling pooled waters as they rolled and foamed over the rocks at the footsteps of the waterfall. The filtered sunlight pierced the water and illuminated the river bottom. There was a thickness to the water as it slickly bent over the rocks. It was like some kind of crystal in motion. As little sections of water would begin to foam from small turbulences, they added variety to the smoothly flowing textures. The trees cast shadows that wrapped around some of the boulders. I loved that I could discern the shadows from the branches in the canopy above as they weaved their way across the moss-laden rocks carpeting the riverbed. Contrasting the shadows were the patches of illumination. The river bottom just glowed! It excited me to watch a river bass swim as it emerged from shadow into a glowing patch of sunlit river bottom and back into shadow. As scales shimmered across its variegated body, the subtle glints added to the placid splendor of the scene. The sound of the river and the clarity of the water made me thirsty. Inspiration compelled me to begin the series I call Cascading Waters."
