Grand Canyon Sketch 9

"Grand Canyon Sketch 9", 4 x 6, Oil on Museum Board
This is my last small Grand Canyon sketch for now. Doing this series in the early part of December got me through the holiday postings, a time I never find easy. I've done many more paintings since, and they've been all over the map. It has been two years since I started the "daily" blog. I do paint almost every day but a few months ago decided to post only every two days so I'd have paintings to post during trips and so I could be more experimental, which sometimes means failure! But if failure is success in trying something new, it is well worth it. I wish you all a wonderful New Year!
Purchase this unframed painting for $115.
Contact me if you would like to purchase a plein air frame.

  3. Love the colors, the thick, beautiful brushwork,and the perspective with just enough blue sky shining through the canyon. That was a long sentence. Your work is inspiring. Happy 2012!
