Description

This painterly southwest landscape features the rocks near Mather Point, O'Neill Butte and Vishnu Temple seen from the south rim of Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. Looking eastward, lazy clouds float through the blue sky on a cool but sunny afternoon as two birds fly overhead. Pinyon trees dot the boulders of limestone that form the south rim. The Grand Canyon has so much intriguing depth, color, shapes and forms, that portraying the essence of it on a small canvas is challenging yet fun.

This is the among the first views visitors to the park in Northern Arizona are treated to. Despite the multitude of tourists, one is easily lost in the powerful scale of the canyon when it is first seen. This oil painting is a free and flowing attempt to convey the shifts in value and light that this viewpoint provide. Brightly lit prominent rocks quickly giving way to deep and dark chasms and hazy blue, distant mountains rising above the Colorado River.

Whether you are interested in purchasing this or any of my original paintings, or would like to browse the many beautiful print options available, I am confident that you will find something to love in my gallery of landscape fine art of the American Southwest.
