The Art of Looking: Kay WalkingStick, The Niagara Cascades

The image features a waterfall, potentially Horseshoe Falls at Niagara Falls. The viewpoint is elevated, overlooking the cascading water. The horizon line is high with land and water meeting in the distance. A bridge spans over the edge of the falls to the left. The brushstrokes are smooth, capturing the water's movement. The color palette consists of aquamarine, turquoise, white, and subtle earthy tones for the rocks and bridge. Red and beige star shapes add decoration. The sky is clear blue.
