David Drum’s "The Falls Icing Up," painted in 2023, offers a striking depiction of Niagara Falls during the winter months. Measuring 32 x 20 inches and created in oil on archival foamcore, this piece is signed in the bottom right corner.
The painting captures the majestic power and beauty of Niagara Falls as it transforms under the winter's chill. Drum’s meticulous brushwork highlights the intricate patterns of ice and the frosted mist that clings to the roaring cascades. The side view of the falls emphasizes the sheer scale and dramatic presence of the natural wonder, while the cold, muted tones of the winter landscape contrast vividly with the dynamic movement of the water.
"The Falls Icing Up" is a testament to Drum’s ability to convey the grandeur and harsh beauty of a frozen natural phenomenon, showcasing his skill in rendering both the intensity of the falls and the delicate textures of the ice. This work invites viewers to experience the awe-inspiring spectacle of Niagara Falls in its winter splendor.
