It took me 67 years to see the Grand Canyon for the first time, and 67 days later, my first painting of this magnificent landscape was completed. Isis Temple looms over the Granite Gorge, and the Bright Angel Trail crosses the Tonto Platform to the Colorado River below. Remnants of a recent snow help to define the canyon rim. While I was surprised to see so much atmosphere in the Canyon, it helped to create subtle colors in the shadows.
