This oil painting was challenging to create the atmosphere, ... the transparent mist that filled the canyon. I'm just in awe when I see any waterfall that has a large volume of water going over it. The Power! Rock breaking! I love waterfalls and I miss the small but beautiful eight foot cascade in my back yard on the river where I lived in Vermont for twenty four years. Just around the river bend was an 18 foot waterfall... not big, but beautiful and a great place to cool off under in the summer! © 2018 ; Art Style; realism; Tags: Great Falls, waterfalls, waterfall, realism, river, wilderness, rocks, california, sierra nevada, mountains, tree, trees, frank wilson, waterfalls, great waterfalls, large waterfalls, cliffs, river, rivers, yosemite, yosemite waterfalls, frank wilson,; Media: paintings; Materials: Oils on a hardboard panel.
