Yosemite Valley is a magic place for me.   I hiked up Yosemite Falls when I was about 10 years old and have always been moved by its majesty.   I wanted to capture its noble spirit by paring it down to essentials.    The traditional images of the falls show it as a double fall.   Actually, as the vintage images below illustrate, it is a cascade of a number of small falls which aren't visible in the traditional views.

Where this painting is coming from:
