The Green Falls is a painting that surprised me in its creation. I intended to create a completely abstract work. I had a color scheme I wanted to work with and as I played with it on the canvas, it started to resolve itself into the shape of something recognizable. I started to see vines in the paint, and falling water, with light shining through from behind. I resolved the image, shaping the leaves and vines, bringing in some deep red leaves, and adding some rivulets of water. It was an interesting experience, combining accident with intention, and is something I've continued to pursue in other works. The Green Falls looks extraordinarily different in different lighting, with sometimes the green, red, or golden tones being more prominent.
