Finding Waterfall

This painting was inspired by a trip I took with my daughters to Mount Tamborine, specifically Curtis Falls. As we walked the winding path towards the waterfall, I was struck by a breathtaking scene — a fleeting, almost magical moment where sunlight poured through the canopy, casting a rosy-pink hue on the stream below. The water shimmered as it tumbled past rocks hugged gently by the forest’s edge, while tall, vertical tree trunks in the foreground created a powerful visual contrast against the fluid movement of the creek.
It wasn’t just the waterfall that moved me — it was the feeling of the journey. The sense of quiet wonder, discovery, and intimacy that nature gifted us along the way. Through this painting, I’ve tried to capture that essence: the layered textures of the forest, the glow of filtered light, and the emotional rhythm of walking side by side with loved ones in a moment of awe.
I invite you, the viewer, to step into this path with me — to not only seek the waterfall but to embrace the quiet beauty and reflection offered by the journey itself.
I hope you enjoy this painting.
