Day 15 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge.

Have you ever had the experience of slowly coming upon a waterfall, first as a distant whisper then getting louder and louder the closer you get?  It's an awe inspiring experience to finally come face to face with the waterfall in all its power and beauty.

I used an earthy triad again in this painting - Cerulean Blue, Yellow Ochre and Quinacridone Bt. Scarlet (with a little Quinacridone Coral for the energy lines).  It was important for me to capture that feeling of energy you see in a scene like this.
