I spent last weekend taking in the incredible majesty of Niagara Falls. Even though I had been there before, it amazed me to see the immense volume of water crashes over the edge and thundering on the rocks and river below.

I brought along supplies hoping to get a chance to paint and I was happy to find a great view from my hotel room. I woke up early the next morning and painted while my family got ready for the day. I kept the edge of the hotel in my painting because I thought it was an interesting contrast of raw natural beauty and the evidence of man. This was a particular challenge painting directly into the sunrise.
