Last Friday morning, my artist friend Nancy Hawkins and I enjoyed Plein Air painting from the wood deck overlooking Cascade Falls in Mill Creek Park. I’ve spent all my life hiking through the park and only discovered this spot a few years ago when I hiked West Gorge Trail to the Silver Bridge, continued up the rocky cliff and followed a path around and up to Cascade Road. The beautiful wood steps along the left side of the falls allow awesome views. I chose to bring my oil paints looking forward to capturing the aqua color pool of water below the falls. I didn’t have enough time to complete this painting on site but will refer to photos I shot to finish it in my studio. Can’t wait!
