painting at Niagara Falls – Three Sisters Islands
Heading to a paint out in a thunder storm is enough to question one’s sanity, but the lure of the Three Sisters and the hope that Nature would change her mind by the time we got there, was enough to spur me onward. Nature did in fact change her mind, and by the time I hooked up with my painting friends, she had indeed spread her magical light all around.
These postage stamp islands, strung together by rustic stone foot bridges, sit amidst the roar of the legendary Niagara River rapids. The sheer force of surging current is palpable, and the views spectacular. Climbing over steadfast ancient boulders to find the perfect painting place was worth every step. Only such rock piles as these could endure relentless pounding of rushing water for centuries on end.
