I found another Eric Grohe in Niagara Falls. The problem with his early work is that his paint fades, as it has here.

I was delighted to catch this woman with her stroller because she looks like she’s in the painting.

See, she’s gone now.

Given that I was in the area, I decided to walk over and visit the real thing. I haven’t seen the falls in forty-two years and I’m really happy I happened by in the winter. No crowds and a forbidding, frozen landscape.
