About this work

This painting shows a wild, rocky river valley with a waterfall crashing down jagged cliffs. Tall, misty trees line the hills, and a small stream winds through boulders at the bottom. The sky is pale and hazy, while the water glows a soft blue-green under the dim light. The artist used thick paint in some spots, especially on the rocks and water, to make them look textured and real. The shadows are deep, but the light areas stay soft, blending into the scene. Look up impasto to see how this technique works.
