Lower Chasm Falls

This oil painting was a challenge for me because there are no definite objects, just lights, darks, forms, shapes and color. I wanted to capture the rushing, falling, splashing and floating movement of the water. It was almost like wanting to express the feeling of the chaos of coming down a water slide and being poured out into a refreshing pool. The moss and water on the rocks is subtle but important. I am pleased with it. I wish I had done it larger than 11 x 14.
