Painting Description

The Lane Furniture company of Altavista, Virginia wondered if I would paint scenes that could be reproduced and applied to cedar chests. This design of tumbling water in Panther Creek, Washington seemed a perfect candidate for just such an experiment. I prefer great sweeping subjects dramatically lighted like this one. Sometimes I get lucky, as I did here and find a dynamic subject only ten minutes from a main highway, but more often, much longer hikes bring us to a subject much less grand and not nearly as well illuminated. My interest is not in the subject but what light is doing to the subject.
