The first part of our painting trip in Sedona accidentally fell on Memorial Day weekend. Most of the places we drove by were full to bursting so we settled on Grasshopper Point. There we found, at the bottom of a cliff, this nice, little waterfall. The other gals set up at the top, and I, being the daredevil I am, scaled to the bottom. Ok, so it was like 20 feet down, but still. While I was putting the first mark down, I heard a crash, and then brushes started raining down a few feet from me. My pal Kelley's box had blown over and she barely rescued it as it clung to a branch at the top of the cliff. All was saved, not to worry. Here is Kelley contemplating the near demise of her painting box.

That is hilarious!
I'd say you made a good painting considering the overwhelming scenery.
Carol, I love the waterfall ... amazing how you capture the beauty with your lovely, loose brushstrokes. I study your paintings almost every day before I get to my own work ... your an inspiration! (I read about Kelley's windy day adventure on her blog ... so glad everyone came out unscathed!)
Has an almost abstract quality to it. Very well done.
Carol,
Love this painting of the waterfall. I can feel the water moving...wonderful job on that. Happy y'all had a blast- and that all survived! Trip of a lifetime and meant to be fun and rejuvenating and I think it was!! Good for y'all:)
Carol, you've captured the power in the waterfall with your brushstrokes.
Hi Carol. I like the painting generally. But I think the bottom 2/3's is where you did your best painting. The top 1/3rd is.. unresolved? I do love to see you go out of your comfort zone. That takes courage.
what's wrong with Frank?k
