High Rock Rapids

Acrylic on panel and varnished wood.

48x36"

"High Rock Rapids" captures the untamed beauty and dynamic energy of a rocky river rapid. Through layered textures, translucent washes, and sweeping, gestural marks, artist Catherine Gutsche evokes the rush of water tumbling over stone - fluid, chaotic, and alive. Cool tones of blue and green flow through the canvas like currents, while earthy undertones anchor the piece in natural strength. This abstract work mirrors the rhythm of nature: ever-shifting, yet grounded. It invites viewers to feel the pulse of wild waters and to embrace the power of movement within stillness.
