Water of Life #4

"Water of Life #4"

Number 4 in the Water of Life Series was inspired by a trip to Alberta Falls in Colorado. Do you know the feeling of mountain air and the intoxicating fragrance of clean, pure
splashing water? I chose oil paints for this painting so that I could add texture to the scene. My style is rather loose and I love brush strokes to show. It makes the painting more intriguing; more like it was not planned so that your eyes have fun.

Waterstone

14" x 11"  watercolor  $399.00

Frozen waterfalls and softly falling snowflakes.  Time and growth ceases.
The woods are listening and groaning, pondering as Mary did the ancient seeds that are to become new life in the spring.  For now we can breathe the nippy frost and be refreshed in the mintiness.

"Watercall"

22'" x 30"  w/c original   $1500.00

Water spills down the rocks, splashing and splattering freshness and calling noisily. 
The fragrance is scintillating because of it's cleanness.   The sight of it is invigorating.  Water is life giving.  Water can also destroy.  Moving water gets rid of debris and pushes things out of its way.  It comes from the sky, distributes the millions of droplets into ponds, crevasses, oceans, fields, and roots, and then evaporates back into the sky after feeding and nourishing  every living thing in its path. What a delicious mystery.

"McHugh Falls, Seward Highway, AK"

The falls are about 20 ft high and can be seen from the highway. The lavender foggy sky made the lush landscape look greener than ever and the mist fell on our raincoats and umbrellas. Aaah!
