“I loved the challenge of creating something so large and
powerful. Just taking the photographs to use while painting was
quite an adventure! I made three trips to photograph the area
in record-breaking heat last July. I decided that I wanted to
paint early morning light on the falls—and I am not a morning
person. I got up at five a.m. to catch the light and it was worth
it. In order to get the shot, I held my camera strap between
my teeth and climbed out over the boulders of Eagle Falls. I
held the camera at arms length and hoped for the best. Just getting
to paint this scene was a journey, but the pleasure it brings
to everyone (including myself) makes it more than worth it.” |
