The Grand Canyon in Arizona is one of my favorite places to visit. When I first went out there about a decade ago, as with most visitors, I was astounded by the beauty of the place, not to mention the size. It’s overwhelming.
That first visit gave me plenty of subject matter for painting. I love the colors, just the sheer beauty of the place. I know I’m not alone in this feeling. I’ve been back a few times and never get tired of the scenery.
This painting focuses on the shadows of the juniper trees on the south rim of the Canyon, towards the eastern side. I loved the play of light and shadow, the colors of the earth, shadows and plants. I could probably paint there a hundred years and never run out of something interesting to see.
I featured this particular painting in a how-to posting about a decade ago. I just came across it while looking for something else in my studio. Check it out at this link. https://my90acres.com/artwork/junipers-at-grand-canyon-demonstration/
