About this painting
Thunder of Waters is an original oil landscape painting inspired by Niagara Falls, known in the Iroquois language as Onguiaahra, “the thunder of waters.” This is a one-of-a-kind original oil painting, created by hand and signed by the artist, complete with a certificate of authenticity.
The work focuses on memory and sensation; the roar of water, the vibration in the air, the feeling of standing near something vast and unstoppable. It is a piece about scale, power, and endurance, rendered through a contemporary painterly lens.
Painted with expressive brushwork and layered color, the river surges forward while the falls erupt in white and blue, carrying a sense of constant motion and raw energy. Subtle gold accents trace the flow of water through the composition, echoing the force and continuity of the river as it moves toward the edge and beyond. The palette balances cool blues and greens with grounded earth tones, creating a landscape that feels alive, dynamic, and deeply rooted in place.
