"Triple Falls, DuPont State Forest"

Transylvania County, NC

(30 X 40 oil on canvas)

This painting is a follow-on of the smaller "Triple Falls" painting shown below.  It includes all three levels of the falls and utilizes more color. 

Since starting this painting I've revisited these falls when the water levels were significantly lower than depicted here.  Quite a contrast.  Under normal conditions there is no water to your right on the second tier.  I could actually walk up to and touch the rocks on the second tier center without getting wet.  I feel very fortunate to have venture to DuPont on this day December 23, 2011 for a first hand view of the swollen rivers.
