The Top of Tiffany

Some days I paint better than others but I have discovered that every day is a good day to paint. Today I painted at Tiffany Falls with half a dozen other artists.  It was 21 C and a clear blue sky except we were in the gorge so the sky colour didn't matter.  It did however mean that there were fantastic highlights in the valley.  The down side is that the patterns changed in a matter of minutes.  When we arrived the sun was gleaming off the falling water and wet stone but by the time we left the whole gorge was in shadow.


This painting is oil on canvas board 14" X 11" and since it is my first attempt at water using oil paint I am happy with it.
