The Grand Canyon is a hard thing to paint. This was the fourth picture I painted during my first day on the South Rim. The previous three pictures were wiped off with no regrets. I really struggled trying to capture the beautiful morning light on the canyon. By the time I'd gotten a grasp of how to approach the massive subject, the wonderful blues and reds were gone. This isn't a very pretty picture, but I was happy with how well it represented the midday light. My subsequent pictures of the Grand Canyon were more confident, but I'm looking forward to making a return trip sometime soon to further refine my rock painting skills.
