20 kilometers west of Princeton B.C., a large, unusual rock formation stands majestically overlooking a rocky beach and bend in the Similkameen River.  The emerald-coloured waters of the river and the uneven, rough texture of the granite rock face provided the artist an inspiring opportunity to paint this unique and remarkable landscape.  Each year during the hot summer months, people travel from far and wide to swim in this picturesque portion of the Similkameen and they take great pleasure jumping from the 50 foot face of the rock into the cool waters below. Towards early fall this part of the river becomes a perfect location for fly fisherman intent on catching a trophy rainbow trout.
