Winter in the Grand Canyon


 Here is a recent 9x12" oil painting inspired from a hike last March.  It was an overcast day but the sun was illuminating the snow on the south rim.  This was about a mile down-trail from Indian Gardens, as my wife and I made our way back to the south rim after spending two nights at Phantom Ranch.  In my painting, I really wanted to emphasize the soft light of this wintery morning.  I have included the photo and sketch below, sources for my painting.
