Quarry Falls, 2009
oil on canvas, 24" x 25"
There is a great road that runs along the Cullasaja River Gorge. There are lots of places to pull over and see falls and rapids as the river flows. I happened to go after a week of heavy rain, to see the river when it was up and raging. Quarry Falls is a wide open set of falls with gigantic rocks littering the whole scene. Think of the power of that water moving those huge rocks, it's just amazing. I worked to capture the violent flow of the water and the geological patterns of the rocks working together.
