The Descent

Description

This is my first big watercolor piece of the year, at 19"x15".  I took the reference photo for this painting about 4 years ago somewhere in north Georgia, though I don't recall exactly where the waterfall was.  At the time, my relationship was starting to go south, and that trip to the falls in particular was rough.  The photo was appropriately damp, brooding, and a little grotesque, as landscapes go.  A real descent, not just for the water, but for my then-relationship.  And now, I feel the metaphor is appropriate as the country slides closer to a cliff on January 21st.

Watercolor and gouache on cold press paper.
