"Dry Falls"
oil on panel, 9"x12"
An interesting geological aside: A LOT of water raced through here when the ice dams gave way during the last ice age, carving these dramatic coulees. Nice and dry now, though.

dry falls
I did this plein air painting near Dry Falls in eastern Washington a year ago last fall, didn't like it, and finally tweaked it in the studio. It might be like training a bonsai- I had to wait a while to see what to do next. At this rate, it should be done in a few years!

However you tweaked it, it gives a great feeling of what it's like over there. I miss sagebrush!
Thanks. I just redid the foreground composition a little, to make the shapes work better with the rest of the painting. It does seem to have that nice dry feeling.
It's a really nice painting, and reminds me of being there!
