Hillside Boulders at Nakoweap

9” x 12” | 1999 | Oil on Canvas Panel

I painted this when I was with the artists on the Grand Canyon Trust Colorado River trip in 1999. I love the color and texture in this painting. The walls have moved into shadow, remaining warm with reflected light while the character of billion-year-old boulders is revealed in the light. You can only see this at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
