Description

Oil on Canvas

Final project for my painting class last semester. It's one of the entries to the Center for Visual Arts viewed from behind the waterfall in the atrium.

Yes, that right section is the waterfall and yes, it looks nothing like water. I fought with that so much while painting this. It isn't a normal waterfall, it's water running down a metal screen that creates awesome patterns... awesome moving patterns that are not so awesome to paint. Anyway, it was a struggle and after a lot of wasted paint I got to a point where I was reasonably happy with it. The rest of the painting went surprisingly smoothly, though time-consuming.

Of course, this photo isn't exactly true to the actual colors, but I think it's damn close.

This one, and the other one I "favorited" are definitely stunning!
Before enlarging this one I thought it was a photograph, seriously.
You do a great job with Oil paintings :)
