West Virginia

I took a  reference photo of this waterfall while hiking a few years back!!.  It was  so beautiful...  I can still hear the sounds of the water falling against the rocks..  I probably would never find this place again, but at least I'll have this pastel painting.  We decided that this was the perfect spot to have a picnic!!

      The sound of the water is truly soothing...I think that's why I love my little pond in my backyard. I'm glad you liked my painting Celia! Enjoy your weekend!!!!

    I can almost hear the water. It is such a soothing sound. Lovely job on this!!! I like how you handled the falling water and the spray.

    Definitely the sounds of the falling water is an inspiration for the soul, to recreate it is equally gratifying, you did a lovely job Hilda!

    Hi Hilda, so beautifully painted. And both rocks and water can be difficult elements. I hope you are having a wonderful summer.

    Hilda eres una gran pintora en la especialidad del pastel. Te felicito. Muy bueno y un hermoso recuerdo de tu estancia en Virginia. Solo le falta oír el murmullo del agua cuando cae...
    Un fuerte abrazo.
