Businessman’s Lunch Falls was both a challenge and a favorite to paint. I was hesitant to paint the whole scene for my 50 New York Waterfalls project because in a lot of ways, a 6 inch by 6 inch square didn’t feel like it could give justice to all the interesting features of the scene. In the end I decided to go for it. I have many favorite parts of this painting. I’m so intrigued by the roots that are showing on all the trees at the bottom area of the waterfall. I also had a lot of fun painting the old building that used to house the powerplant.
This is definitely a scene that I see myself visiting in the future. In fact, I realized while I was going through photos to put in today’s post that the drawing that I just started is from my visit to this creek. (You can follow along with my progress on the drawing over on Instagram or Facebook.)
Have you visited Businessman’s Lunch Falls or the Mulholland Wildflower Preserve?
