Waterfall 2007 charcoal, pastel & oil

This is a drawing and painting of a rural landscape. I accentuate the texture of the rock and braches and the contrast between glowing water and the rock. I derived pure enjoyment from creating this work because this was my chance to explore different materilas including charcoal, pastel, and oil paints and experiment with various textures to express the serenity and purity of nature.
