"Cascading Blues and Earthen Hues" is a striking 12" x 14" piece crafted using watercolor and gouache on handmade 100% cotton paper. This artwork captures a dynamic natural landscape scene, focusing on a waterfall cascading down rocky terrain. The rocks exhibit various shades of brown, highlighted by meticulous attention to texture and layering. Above the waterfall, an interplay of lush green and yellow foliage contrasts with the earthy tones below.

The water is depicted in vibrant blues and whites, enhancing the sense of movement and fluidity, and instilling a tranquil atmosphere. The painting brings forth the serene beauty of nature, inspired by the stunning scenery of Soco Falls in Cherokee, North Carolina, nestled within the Appalachian Mountains. The use of mixed media gouache adds a unique dimension to the portrayal, merging detail with emotional resonance.
