International Artist – August-September 2019

After I retrieved my jaw I set to work painting
and I soon realised just how tricky it can be
to capture such a stunning subject on canvas.
Not an easy task! As I toiled away I hummed
a happy tune and considered myself lucky to
finish with a halfway decent painting. Returning
to camp I treated myself to a very brief swim in
the glacial Rees Valley river.
Needless to say, I was very fired up about
waterfalls so as soon as I got back to the studio
I started painting and researched the best
waterfall painters to help on my quest to paint
a truely beautiful waterfall scene.
Finally, I felt that I’d paid homage to that
beautiful waterfall in the deep south. I laid
down my brushes, took a break and enjoyed
the results of my labours. There were so many
valuable lessons I’d learned along the way.
Now it’s your turn to try!
