Hello again painting fans.
This week I will be continuing with the Grand Canyon painting. The photo that I’m using is seen directly below. I’ll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 6×6 inch canvas.
When last seen the painting appeared as it does in the photo seen directly below.
Since that time I have continued to work on the painting.
For this week’s cycle I’ve added to the very front and rear of the image. Out in front, I’ve continued the wispy portions of the buttes down into the shadows. A similar effect is seen in the original photo. In the far rear, I’ve broken up the distant cliffs/buttes into smaller shapes. The painting is now done.
The current and final state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.
I’ll have another painting to show you next week. See you then.
Earlier paintings in this series can be seen here.
It’s open.
And I’m around. The final product does capture the essence of the scenery in the photo. Nicely done.
Thank you sir.
Well the good times could not last. Back to a full week this week. I get to be overworked the rest the year. So it goes.
My time starts in about two weeks, and certainly by Christmas.
Then it’s the grind for quite awhile.

I get just a bit of time of for the Christmas period. Will be spending what time I do have with family. Then, pretty much an endless trek to and from the proverbial salt mines. Hoping my spouse’s recovery continues enough to take back many of the responsibilities I took on around the house. It’s been a tiring year in more ways than one.
