Item Description

Once again, WXXI proudly welcomes Jim Christy on board as the featured artist for its annual Auction! A Rochester native, Jim Christy has an abiding interest in both historic and present day scenes around his hometown. In this signed print of the 2008 painting, titled 'High Falls Vista,' we view a breathtaking panorama of the Rochester skyline, as we would see it from the east side of the riverbank near the Pont de Rennes pedestrian bridge in historic High Falls and measures 15 1/2inches X 28inches. Painting with watercolors and gouache paints, Jim has captured all of the familiar buildings, the energy of the Genesee River as it cascades over the High Falls, and the first colorful leaves of autumn. Jim maintains a studio at his home where he paints for galleries, here and in Florida, and accepts commissions. For several years Jim has contributed his artwork to the Auction and says he is honored to have this 'featured artist' position.
