Sunset Light Over the Grand Canyon

Every time I paint the Grand Canyon I remember hiking with my dad from the canyon’s north rim down to the Colorado River and then up to the canyon’s south rim. It was a long journey through layer after layer of earth, and when I paint the Grand Canyon it is a challenge to recapture that sense of height and depth that I experienced as I walked through the landscape.
