#214 "End Of The Beginning"

A lush summer scene, featuring High Falls on the Pigeon River in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. The waterfall in this painting marks the point where the river makes a final drop before it becomes Lake Superior and part of the Great Lakes system. Black linework is used to detail the meandering and organic rock forms of the falls. Slate and titan buff pigments are tinted with titanium white to detail the current of the river as it spills over the edge. You can sense the contours of rock hidden behind the flow of water which in some places barely trickles down the wall. Framing the falls, we see abundant vegetation which is detailed in shades of vibrant green pigments.
