Today I had some fun working without a picture. I'm generally not very good at it, because my brain needs inspiration to work from; but every once in awhile, I like to try my hand at it again. I took some pictures of the painting in different stages, and I thought it would be fun to show them here!
My canvas is one I got at a warehouse full of junk. It looks gray in the picture, and that was from another painter doing a prime coat for something they intended to paint. The edges are kinda frayed, but we need a few more pictures for the house, and this is a larger canvas (24 x 36!!) than my normal 16 x 20 inches.

Honestly, the first thing I did was add the waterfall.. then some water below and sky above.. All I knew at this stage is "I want to paint a waterfall"... What do you think so far???
Okay, so maybe it needs a little something more. Sheer rock walls???? Might be able to handle that!!
Spice up the water, add a little froth and a rock at the bottom, tweak the rock walls.. now we are getting somewhere!!
Hmm... Mountains in the background?? Change the sky completely?? I think YES! oh, and ADD SOME MORE Waterfalls! You can see me change my mind about things in these pictures.
Pretty tree branches with flowers and a pine tree on the other side... maybe a rock for water to splash off. Doesn't get much better than that!!
Add birds in the distance and signature!
Here is the final view. =)
