Limited pallete waterfall

Comment from Jack Moore


This almost looks like a scene at Nicaragua Falls. I like the mist coming up from the water and I also like the trees on the left side of this piece. I have never been there but I have always wanted to go just to see it and mark it off of my bucket list, but that will probably never happen, anyway what are dreams made of, gives you something to try for right. I like how this fills the frame and I definitely like those colors. Keep up the great work my friend and thanks for sharing. JackJr.

I have a feeling that this is meant to be the Niagara falls, and I especially like the simplicity emphasized by the limited color pallet.

This painting is very different from what you usually present, and I think it lacks a but of punch. I do however like the feel of motion in the flow of water.

The format and framing is good, and with the trees off to the left and the falls to the right, it is a fine balance in the composition. All together a fine painting Ray, and I wish you luck with the contest.

This makes me think of the waterfall images that Nickman shares.
Well created falls , good show of the fast motion of the rushing water. Nice work to show the Misty air.
I like the limited colors here.
Well created, arranged and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

A good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your composition suggests to me, that your painting is of Niagara Falls? Shades and tones are fine. Well painted and good luck!
