Rochester is fortunate to have some spectacular scenery, including "High Falls", a nearly 100 foot waterfall a short distance from downtown. It's certainly a strange juxtaposition, seeing tall city skyscrapers so close to such a large waterfall. This 10x8 oil/board has a lot of nice structure in the lower half - I'm pretty happy with that area, since it was the first time in a long time that I had tried painting a waterfall. I'm not so happy with the buildings and greenery, though admittedly I spent much less time on those. It's a site I want to get back to.
