Nooksack Falls by Alfred Currier

Oil on canvas — impasto. A glacial cascade descends center-frame in cerulean blue and viridian impasto; palette-knife white marks the moving water and mineral deposits on rock. Burnt sienna and raw umber define the canyon walls; cadmium orange accents the exposed formations. The boulders in the foreground are layered in ochre and gray, building dimensional texture. Currier paints on location — this is the Nooksack River, Whatcom County. Oil on canvas. $950. International shipping available.
