This painting shows a waterfall crashing down rocky cliffs into a river. Above it, a small village clings to a hillside, with stone buildings and a church steeple. Trees line the riverbank, and the sky is soft with light clouds. The artist used watercolor to show how the water splashes and the rocks glow in the light. The scene feels quiet but alive, like nature’s own stage. Next, look up John Glover to see how he painted other faraway places.
