West coast waterfall

I was out with the Al Frescoes again, this time at Witty’s Lagoon, west of Victoria.
Because of the sound of the waterfall, I didn’t realize that
a line of hikers was filing past me – until a big black dog planted his
pointy face on my painting and smiled up at me.
Leaping out of your seat is quite a conversation-starter. The
dog’s owners were very apologetic and almost frantically effusive about my
painting.
As always, I was trying to shift away from a straight-up
representational landscape toward something more stylized, but still
recognizable – but I suspected that if it weren’t for the waterfall being right
in front of us, they wouldn’t have recognized it…
