This painting, titled Bash-Bish Falls, by John Frederick Kensett, highlights several important themes and illustrates a beautiful sight. Painted in oil on canvas in 1855, the falls are painted in a unique way. Kensett views the falls from the bottom, making the rocks and rushing water look all the more threatening. The tiny wooden bridge, the only example of human influence, looks tiny and weak in comparison to the massive boulders. This painting highlights how insignificant human efforts are to tame nature, even just to allow us to cross a waterfall. Much of our course centers on humanities’ efforts to domesticate nature. This painting shows it to be impossible next to the unmoving strength of nature.
Splash Bash happened on Aug. 4 at the Nassau Human Society Dog Park near Fernandina Beach Airport. The event was a fundraiser for Bark for Life. Bark for Life is a combined American Cancer Society Relay for Life and Nassau Humane Society scheduled for Sept. 8 at Central Park in Fernandina Beach.
