Description
We see Horseshoe Bend, a famed natural feature of the southwest, during a radiant, golden sunset. This u-shaped curve is an incised meander in the Colorado River in far northern Arizona near the town of Page, not far from Glen Canyon and Lake Powell near the Utah border. Here, the mighty river cuts 1,000 feet into the limestone and rock comprising the Colorado Plateau and is regarded by many to be the beginning of the Grand Canyon. It is one of the most famed overlooks in the state of Arizona, attracting countless tourists.
Looking west, we can see junipers, agave plants, bushes, twiggy trees, limestone cliffs, and the water of the river reflecting the glorious sunset. I have never been able to visit Horseshoe Bend, but I hope to do some day. This is the beginning of a series of landscapes I hope to paint depicting places I have never been but would love to visit.

Very beautiful painting, Chance. The colors are rich and the perspective on this iconic natural feature works well. Love that lone tree.
