It is often so difficult to describe in words or even with a camera, the beauty we encounter in nature. It is apparent by this work of art, that Leasure has successfully captured the brilliance of the moment for us. The artist has stated before, it is his desire to render what he sees and appreciates in nature in a way that will help others to see what they might have otherwise overlooked. In this wall art rendering of a sparkling bold river gushing over the boulders of the land, he has certainly attained his goal. This painting will add life and radiance to any wall. As an accomplished artist, Leasure has created a hand painted composition that portrays an abundance of motion, yet with a comforting calm. If you wish to study and appreciate this painting more closely, select “view in gallery” under the image of art. The rocks to the forefront of ‘Cascading Water IV’ are painted in a light pink colour and seem soft as they have dried in the sun where the water isn’t running over them. However, in the background of the painting, the rocks and the stream are in shadow and they take on a sinister life of their own.

The glistening rocks look like the heads of creatures from the deep, emerging above the water and the painting has captured them just before they open their eyes and wreak havoc on the world! Or maybe the dark and light contrasts just run away with your imagination and this wall art would be perfect in the room of a young boy who could create endless adventures from the fodder of this changing and contrasting painting.
