This painting was born from walking along the trails of Georgian Bay, listening to water before seeing it. I seem to be continually drawn to places where water meets granite again and again, wearing it down not through force, but through time and patience. It’s a long, quiet conversation between motion and stillness—the energy of the falling water followed by the calm that settles afterward.
Rather than emphasizing drama, I focused on the cool mass of shadowed rock, the softened edges shaped by centuries of flow, and the quiet force of gravity steadily doing its work. Standing near a waterfall, I often find myself wondering where all this water comes from and feeling a deep sense of gratitude for how fortunate we are in Canada to have such an abundance of fresh water, while other parts of the world face severe drought.
This waterfall continues without interruption, and that sense of inevitability gives the scene both its calm and its strength. At its core, the piece is about balance. Water moves, stone remains, and neither dominates the other. For collectors, this painting often resonates as a meditation on continuity—on how nature evolves. It’s a work meant to live with you over time, revealing its steadiness slowly, much like the landscape that inspired it.
