Item Description
Oil, 11x14 inches unframed, gallery canvas 1.5 inches deep (no frame required)
Among the many beautiful waterfalls throughout Honduras, Pulhapanzak is the largest, dropping about 140 feet (only 30 feet shy of Niagara Falls). One of the reasons it is so popular is because you can actually climb into a cave behind the waterfall and also swim around near the base.
The name "Pulhapanzak" is said to come from a Nahuatl expression which means "Overflow of White River". The waterfall appears to come out of nowhere, emerging from the tropical forests on the periphery with a raging torrent. The sound is said to be nearly deafening especially when up close.
Artist's Note:
I could hear the thundering waterfall as I painted this image and feel the cool splash as the water hits the rocks with great force.
Item Special Note
Hearts & Homes for Refugees' Note:
There are many refugee families from Honduras who now call New York home, such as Ana* and her two teen sons. Ana is happy to give her boys a new life far from the gangs that threatened them, and has been grateful for the help she received from Hearts & Homes for Refugees to start over in the U.S.
*Name has been changed to protect the family's privacy.
