Springtime Visit to Blackwater Falls

After The Rain  9 x 8  Pastel   ©Sheila Ashley Liston
Available $135

Mighty waters rushing down the canyon through the storm back to its Source...
Do I not desire the same? Running back to my Source during the storms of life...

This painting was done on a recent spring trip to Blackwater Falls in West Virginia. It had rained for several days creating a massive cascade of water forcefully making its way through the Blackwater Canyon. The black water is the result of tannic acid from fallen hemlock trees and red spruce needles. With all the rain this season, the foliage is lush and rich in hues of green that seem even brighter than normal.
