About This Painting

Each year at the Grand Canyon Celebration of Arts, in conjunction with the "Plein Air on the Rim" event, invited artists are asked to provide a studio painting of the Grand Canyon.  This was mine for the 2012 event.  Using reference material like plein air sketches and photographs, I created a scene designed to convey the majestic breadth of the Canyon.  This painting was done entirely with a small painting knife, which takes much more time than painting with a brush, but it was a labor of love!

Below are some detail shots of the painting as well as the painting in its frame.  (Click to enlarge!)
