Japanese gardens have always been synonymous with serenity and rejuvenation of the spirit. The tranquil sound of the water falling over the rocks brings the mind to a meditative being. A peaceful place where thoughts disappear, only to be rediscovered with more clarity. Being among the trees and greenery is also a healing experience for the mind, body and soul.

This painting was inspired by my own backyard garden waterfall. I sent many days sitting by the small waterfall lost in my thoughts. One day a huge crane flew past my shoulder. The sounds of the splashing water brought much wildlife around. I saw deer, squirrels, chipmunks, wild turkey, a blue heron, and birds of all description seeking solace in the forest by the soothingly cool waters, even on the hottest of summer days in Atlanta, GA.
