"Creek Fall" waterfall, oil painting by Robin Weiss

On the way back from the ocean there is a long drive around Crescent Lake. There are many beautiful scenes as you bank the turns following the shore line. What always catches me veering into the opposite lane as I crane my neck around to look are these magical little waterfalls, especially in the winter, that cascade down to the lake. I had to pull over and capture this one. I tried my best to simplify and create a mood here .......Over-worked?

I have completed about six or seven waterfall paintings. You can see the one I think was the best here.....and it is in the middle of Seattle!
