Dream Falls, 12x24  Original Fluid Acrylic on Gallery‑Wrapped Canvas (Unframed, Finished Edges) – Embrace the Unknown Series – Theresa Henderson (2022)

Turquoise cascades plunge through mist‑white veils, freezing water in perpetual motion. Henderson pours a cool teal flood coat, then drives a narrow ribbon of titanium white from the top edge straight downward, tilting sharply so the lighter pigment shears through darker layers in wavelike sheets. Torch heat spawns lacey foam cells along the “water’s” outer edges, while translucent aquas pool at the base, suggesting a plunge pool catching endless spray. Threading through the falling column, faint streaks of lavender and sea‑green hint at refracted rainbows glimpsed in real waterfalls when sunlight strikes airborne droplets. Despite the dynamic thrust, negative‑space pockets lend breathing room, capturing the hush that surrounds roaring water. Dream Falls invites the viewer to stand at the river’s edge—so close you feel the mist, yet safe within the painting’s suspended hush.
