Artist's Comments
This is an ooooold painting, from '97. Oil on canvas, about 18 by 24 inches. I noticed it when I was poking around in my art room and was surprised that I hadn't put it up here yet, because it has always been one of my personal favorites. It has a lot of flaws because at the time I didn't have any formal training in painting (but luckily I've been painting in oil since I was about 12, so I had some idea of what I was doing). I didn't know how to properly use color in a painting and I could have used more variety in my brushstrokes. But I still feel happy every time I look at this picture. The photo killed the color and contrast, but I tried to adjust it to as close to the actual painting as I could.
Gooseberry Falls is in northeastern Minnesota, along the shore of Lake Superior. Gorgeous country! This is the smaller part of the lower falls and probably the least impressive part of the falls, but it has always been my favorite. It was the first part of Gooseberry Falls that I ever saw, and my friend and I used to go swimming in the pool below. Lately it has been so dry that this part is now little more than a trickle.  Referenced from a photo that I took. I really need to do some more oil paintings, but they take so much time. |

We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.

Well, I don't know what "flaws" there may be, it looks like a pretty damn good painting to me. I've never had the chance to work with oils, but I've heard their incredibly tricky.

Two Cut Films
One of the best water-related pictures I've seen for a while.
The only thing that seems to be a bit dull, is that background. It's too grey or something. Or maybe it's just the blueish color of the trees on the right.
But I really can see why this is one of your personal favorites.
