Pool of Light

Little Qualicum Falls is located on Vancouver Island. This painting is 12 x 12", oil on archival claybord. Above the cascade lies a golden pool so clear you can see the layers of rock beneath the surface. Here the water is bathed in light just before it tumbles over the edge as a roaring waterfall. Located off Hwy 4 where Cameron Lake empties into the Little Qualicum River; in 1940 the park was established to protect the old growth Douglas Fir forest and the riverbanks alongside the falls.
