Boats at Willamette Falls

Last week I walked onto the OC bridge to take reference photos of Willamette Falls, and here's one of the first paintings from those images. I was pleased to see a couple boaters in the water, so of course I kept them in. In this painting, the foreground boat looks a little dark, but it's not really that dark in the painting....it just turned out that way in the picture, and I didn't want to go back for a "do over". Lazy of me, I know.
