Sunrise Over Whispering Falls

Sunrise Over Whispering Falls is a bright, joyful 18×24 oil landscape painted by Hope Blakely during a 2022 Steve Ross class — created as her side painting while the main demo unfolded. 🌅🎨

This piece captures that unmistakable Bob Ross–style magic: glowing skies, soft pastel mountains, quiet reflections, and a cheerful cascading waterfall pulling the viewer right into the scene. The sky transitions from warm sunrise peach to cool lavender tones, echoing the calmness of early morning in the mountains.

Hope added her signature touches throughout, including several “Max Wilmington trees” — those beloved evergreens that have roots in Bob Ross and Bill Alexander techniques but are kept alive today by Max’s enthusiastic use of them. 🌲✨

Painted entirely in oils on stretched canvas, this unframed original is rich, vibrant, and ready to brighten any collector’s home. It’s available for $325, with free shipping in the lower 48.
