Painting 3 of 13: Niagara Falls (Horseshoe Falls) in Ontario

Niagara Falls (a.k.a. Horseshoe Falls or the "Canadian Falls") in Ontario is the third painting I completed from my 2023 Canada series. Fun Fact: Niagara Falls is actually made up of three waterfalls, two of which are located in the United States, and one (Horseshoe Falls) that lies on the border between Canada and the US. Horseshoe Falls is the largest (and most beautiful IMO) of the three.

When I was deciding which location to paint for Ontario, Niagara Falls was not actually my first choice. I was originally going to paint the Toronto skyline (mostly because my husband is from Toronto). However, Niagara Falls won in the end because of its spectacular natural beauty, and because it is one of Canada's most infamous landmarks. ​At 24x36 inches, it is larger than the other paintings in this series which allowed me to add more details. This was also my very first time painting a waterfall!
