It was truly an impressive experience to sit on the ground at the Grand Canyon and have the opportunity to paint plein air. Wow is all I can say. So majestic, so quiet, so inspiring.........just to view this magnificent natural wonder fills one with awe. Trying to capture the striated rock that lines the canyons top to bottom was challenging. It was difficult and while I enjoyed having this chance to paint, I was also the quintessential frustrated artist! Returning home I took a second look at what I had painted and decided it just needed definition. Using a pen I outlined the many variations in color and this is the result.
