Too close.
Thanks David.
Cultural note: Paterson is poorly represented in Jim Jarmusch's film "Paterson". Arguably poetry is also misrepresented. Bob Dylan's "Hurricane" is a nice snapshot. My copy of William's Paterson has a drawing of the falls on the cover. Of course, he lived in Rutherford, a nearby town seemingly on a different planet.
Environmental note: The Paterson falls are both huge and small. I've painted them onsite three times, once when the actual falls were frozen like a stilled waterfall of ice. I looked like Shackleton when I was done. The picture on my site is of the water above the falls, with the falls beginning at the right edge.
Glad you like the site and the paintings.
Rick
