During the pandemic I’ve been spending time traveling through my extensive collection photo files. The reference photos for this painting go all the way back to a Southwestern odyssey we made in 2013. This vista is from Painted Desert National Park in Arizona not far from the visitor center.

I told my family that I was taking them to see lots of big pretty rocks and I did. We did both rims of the Grand Canyon, Bryce National Park, Petrified Forest National Park, Capital Reef National Park, Natural Bridges National Monument, and more, not to mention many Indian ruin sites.
We had a blast, But, for me, summer vacations are at least half about painting material. Here is the first of what I hope will be many paintings of the Southwest.
