| Site: | Appears to be Bridalveil Fall, Yosemite National Park. |
| Description: | A view looking up from the base of a waterfall coming over a high cliff with a few trees at its top; only a small patch of sky is visible in the center above the cliff. The fall tumbles in a narrow stream, then explodes in a spray that nearly fills the width of the painting. The stream proceeds to the front of the painting through and beside rocks. A conifer extends more than the height of the painting on the right; at the left edge is a smaller conifer; beyond it a still smaller one. (From the painting, 22 July 1998) |
| Note: | A detail of this painting was used in a wine label of the Silver Fox Vineyards in 2003. |
| Identification: | The source of the title "Yosemite Falls", is unknown. However, the shape, height, and environment of the waterfall in the picture all suggest that a better title would be "Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite Valley". |
