This hidden waterfall captured me because the filtered light and shadow areas in the pool at the base of the falls provides a counterpoint of stillness and peace to the cascading water. There is a coolness in this shaded area and a sense of solitude. I was one with nature as I painted. I began with a hard pastel and odorless mineral spirits underpainting and finished with a variety of soft pastels.
