Falls at Toltec GorgePoster con cornice

Falls at Toltec Gorge shows a stream dropping through a narrow cut in the rock, with stone walls rising on either side. Thomas Moran painted western gorges like this one with loose, quick brushwork that leaves the rock edges rough. The whole scene reads as a study of falling water and hard stone.

A framed poster suits a hallway wall that gets only passing light. Pick a wood frame to sit beside a wooden console, or a dark frame against a pale painted wall.

In a stairwell, you catch the white water between the rock walls as you climb. Halfway up, the loose brushwork shows itself in the stone.
