Witness of a past disaster

[ColorEnthusiast]

In this small Alpine valley with its little brook, there are several huge fallen rocks, now peacefully grown over.
They are in the size of small cabins. It must have been a giant rock fall.
From my own reference, watercolors on Arches CP paper (1/4 sheet, 30x40 cm)

Really like the looking down feel to this. Been to places like this where giants have lost their marbles.
Great job of conveying the scale.

This is beautiful! I just love the light on the trees and the textures in the foliage.

Beautiful scene. I love the big boulders, and you've done a good job portraying it.

 

[Artyczar]

Such a compelling scene. Well done!

This is so well done. It's hard to get the right colors on something like a huge boulder, but you were able to get those grays and subtle greens in there to reflect the surroundings. Pretty light through your trees and I love the movement in the water. Wonderful!

Lovely, that soft light in the trees is so pretty- I really like the comp

Wow! Imagine the noise when that gigantic thing came down. Very beautiful feeling of looking into the light, Esther.

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Wayne, I like the idea of giants marbles.
Donna, I once heard the sound of a rock fall at a hiking tour. Gladly we were far enough away. It is a sound that makes you run before you even realize what is going on.

So intriguing yet so peaceful at the same time.

Nice movement in the water and lovely light.

Wonderful. I like everything about this. Strong composition, lovely soft lights against dramatic darks. Really skillfully painted.

Great all-over painting. The water is great but the foliage, those greens! That is special. Well done!
