Orchids
I thought I’d do something a little different today and share more about one of my most popular painting series – Orchids. A little over a year ago I bought myself a white orchid plant and have been a bit obsessed with how beautiful it is since. White Orchid with…
Waterfall Wednesday: Genesee Lower Falls
We’ve reached the 49th Waterfall Wednesday blog post. Do you know what that means? Just one more waterfall next week and we’ve made it through the whole 50 New York Waterfalls project! I’m currently brainstorming ideas for upcoming blog posts. Anything topics you’d like to see more of? Today’s waterfall…
Waterfall Wednesday: Unnamed Falls
This week we go to an unnamed waterfall in Buttermilk Falls State Park that almost wasn’t part of my 50 New York Waterfalls project. I was conflicted about including an unnamed waterfall in the project when all the other waterfalls were main features with their own names. Ultimately decided this…
Waterfall Wednesday: Sweedler Preserve
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you may remember me previously mentioning Sweedler Preserve and my little mishap with reading the map (reread here). I’ve been reading up on the waterfall and the trails in this preserve and there are many young, experienced hikers that have commented on…
Waterfall Wednesday: Rainbow Falls
“In one place in the island of Hawaii, we saw a laced and ruffled cataract of limpid water leaping from a sheer precipice fifteen hundred feet high; but that sort of scenery finds its stanchest ally in the arithmetic rather than in spectacular effect. If one desires to be so…

Waterfall Wednesday: Stony Brook Lower Falls
This week we’re back in Stony Brook State Park for the second of the two waterfalls that I painted from this park – Lower Falls. Stony Brook State Park is located off NY 36 just off I-90 by Dansville, New York in Steuben County. The park has almost 600 acres with…
Waterfall Wednesday: Letchworth Upper Falls
Today we’re back in Letchworth State Park for the last time to talk about the third main waterfall of this park – Upper Falls. There’s a lot of interesting bits of rail history that go along with this section of the park and it was so fun learning about it…
Waterfall Wednesday: Minnehaha Falls
Do you know what Minnesota and New York have in common? They both have a waterfall named Minnehaha Falls. But do you know which came first and what inspired the name? We’re back again in Watkins Glen State Park today to talk about Minnehaha Falls. I must admit that this…
Waterfall Wednesday: Foaming Falls
This is one of my favorite paintings from my recent series of 50 New York Waterfalls. I feel like I say that a lot, but each one is so beautiful and unique. Today’s waterfall is Foaming Falls, also known as Horseshoe Falls, from Fall Creek Gorge in Ithaca, New York. …
