Baxter State Park Falls Oil Painting

This piece was painted during the first few months of 2015, and is part of a series of large-scale landscape pieces.  The piece was built up gradually through a series of successive layers as I carefully explored the contrasting textures and areas of light and shadow. The structure of the rock formations I found particularly inspiring. Baxter State Park  and Monhegan Island both possess very unique landscape formations.
