This Rainforest is one of the conservation project is already millions of years old, you can find some very old species of plants and trees..some of the surviving natives still live in this jungle....hunting animals with poison darts and fishing.
It looks wild and untouched.. a place to explore - that fast moving water probably holds lots of fish for the young couple to catch! Excellent detail as always Francis, love the framing of the edge of the painting with the jungle.. makes one feel apart of the scene. Really well done! Excellent detail! :o)
Like the way you've drawn the brush to pull the water over the rocks. The dry brushing of the foliage makes it appear dense and thick. I can hear the roar of the water rushing madly over the rocks.
Oh my, this is beautiful! Your work is inviting and stimulating.....sometimes I can look at it for a long while and almost feel like I am there. AWESOME WORK!
Interesting how the people change the perspective of the painting. I almost like it better w/out the people, I can picture my self standing and looking over this great river. Always outstanding work!
