From the Back Burner - Day 20 - 30 Paintings in 30 Days
For today's painting, I chose another photo from Perdenales State Park. The basin that the Perdenales River runs through is wide and full of the most amazing rock formations. I spent hours climbing over huge boulders, and discovering little ponds and waterfalls among the rocks. There are warning signs posted telling people to leave quickly in stormy weather, because flash flooding can fill the basin in minutes. I've never seen a flash flood but the pictures of this very wide and deep basin completely filled with rushing river water are dramatic. Later on while hiking a trail in the campground, I was amazed to see flood debris high overhead in the trees. On this sunny warm day, the weather couldn't have been more perfect.

I can feel the momentum of the water in this piece. Beautifully captured!
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy! Water is both fun and a challenge because it's always different.
