EDGES 99 It is impossible to paint a waterfall without an understanding of edges. A waterfall is movement, and movement means change, which, in turn, means very few hard edges. The way a high-speed camera freezes action 1s nice for catching the agony in a football halfback’s face on impact, but it isn’t the way we see things. We humans cannot stop things in mid-air and see them in perfect detail. It will not do either to simply paint everything moving as just fuzziness. If ] had done that here, the waterfall would look like fog or cotton fluff or downy feathers going over a cliff. It is none of those things; it is falling water strewing into a variety of recurring patterns as it descends. It was up to me to study the shapes of those patterns and their characteristic edges, and then to replicate them with paint. “YUKON WATERFALL” Oil 28” x 22”
