This is a picture of day 3 at Minneopa State Park. The image blends into the landscape. My painting is done in a diagonal fashion without thinking about it to much. There are three secrets to this kind of painting. 1. you have to find the rhythm of the image and 2. you have to find the mark you want to make. 3. you have to study the light and pick the combination of effects that work. It is compressing the 2-3 hour experience into one image. It implies light and movement and wind but that is the illusion.
The most fun part of this painting is painting the waterfall. It seems like a cliche, but it is hypnotic when stare at moving water.
