Fruita Canyon

This little oil painting was done from a watercolor sketch I did on location one morning at the Colorado National Monument. I was on location early that morning with the sun just coming up. I remember it was quite chilly with frost in the shadows. It sure felt good as the sun got higher and higher.

I really enjoy painting the desert southwest red rock features. The is so much character in the rocks. The Colorado National Monument is a special place because of these features and it is not far and easily accessible. This painting SOLD!
