Description
Path to the Cascades is one of a number of hand-colored lithographs I did of this beautiful forest on the way to the Cascades in the Jefferson National Forest in Giles County, Virginia. The hike to the actual Cascades is two miles and it is mostly up. I hiked this trail many times and swam under the falls. The water is extremely cold but it feels great after the hot walk. In this one I tried to emphasize all sparkling green colors of the foliage that was lit up by the strong sunlight filtering through the scene. I will always remember those hikes with friends and I will certainly go there again sometime. I am especially pleased with the cool greens in this one.
I am especially pleased with the interaction of warm and cool colors throughout the work. The break is about half way down the painting. The light is coming through a dense system of colorful clouds. The rolling mountains and foreground tree provide a wonderful light/dark contrast that gives the painting a dynamic look. Also the slant of the clouds provide a special kind of movement that is echoed in the rolling mountains.
