Cool Waters

"Cool Waters"
18 x 24 Acrylic on canvas

   Once again this is my interpretation of Eagle Falls, Emerald Bay. As you can see I was greatly impressed with this beautiful area. 

    I removed a tree which was in middle of the picture and there was also a small tree growing out from the boulder in the center of the falls.
 
   There is a lot going on in this painting and did not want to over do it.
The fresh blue water rushing from the mountains, cascading over the many layers of rock,
making it's way down towards Emerald bay. This is what I wanted to capture. Focus your eyes at the beginning of the water fall and follow it down, it seems like it's really moving.

Big Blue

"Big Blue"
22 x 28 Acrylic on canvas

  This is my interpretation of Lake Tahoe in July.
I was standing very close to Eagle Falls, Emerald Bay when I photographed a similar scene.

   Usually the main object in your painting has the most definition, I got carried away with most of the scene due to the overwhelming beauty.

   What really caught my eye was the tree on the left. The reddish bark and the greyish twisted branches were awesome. The branches seemed to be pointing towards all the scenery. There is so much beauty in this area I could of painted for hours on end and still not capture all there is to see.
