I was recently expecting some overnight guests and decided to do a little extra house cleaning. Bad idea. One thing led to another and before I knew it I began cleaning things that had not been cleaned in …. uh, (clearing throat)… well, lets just say quite a while. Before I knew it, a day that had been slated for painting was eaten up with housework. (Sigh) In looking back, I did manage to finish this painting “Adirondack Waterfall” over the next couple of days, and I did manage to learn a very important life lesson. That lesson? I should always remember to never look under my couch cushions if I want to paint! ~Rita

Beautiful Rita, the richness of the mass of rock formations are impressive in detail and yet blurred – edging is fantastic. Also like the force and energy of the waterfall.

You are so right about the couch cushions! Housework can be so distracting! Your waterfall is magnificent! I read your interview with Mary and that is how I came to find you. Your art is beautiful!

You may have learned a lesson. But when you still are able to paint such a gorgeous picture, what more is to be learned… I can feel the energy and flow over the water as it falls into the abyss.
