Welcome to a serene corner of nature where water and light dance together in a harmonious ballet. This enchanting scene, with its delicate waterfall, cascading over polished stones, acts like a perpetual motion machine fueled by nature's whimsy.

A fallen tree serves as a natural bridge across this small stream—a testament to its earlier life and current role as a silent sentinel. The background is a treasure trove of lush golds and greens, suggesting foliage kissed by the gentle embrace of sunlight filtering through the canopy above.

In creating this artwork, the traditional roles of opaque brushstrokes were given a backseat, allowing transparent washes to take center stage. With these light, airy strokes I tried to capture the ephemeral beauty of this liquid landscape—a place where the elements play and nature itself is caught in a moment of sheer jubilation. It's not just another pretty waterfall; it's a small waterfall with a big charisma and an even bigger sense of humor, ready to whisk viewers away on a journey of imagination and tranquility.

"If a Tree Falls in the Forest..." is available through Sedona Arts Center Gallery.
