South Rim - Grand Canyon 16.5 x 30 inches oil on stretched canvas (The best). CLICK TO ENLARGE

Famous US artist Thomas Moran painted the Grand Canyon from this point which is where we also stood, many years later. I enjoyed painting the rocky cliff but also the far distant mountains. 

Many Canadians who visit the canyon also stand at the same spot, enjoying the view, and this 50cm by 70cm painting, on stretched canvas, is full of cheerful russet hues, different from our greens and blues.

Available direct from me. Send email.

 I like it. Postcard size. 

"Blue Jib"

 

"Blue Jib"

Carol Marine uses oils and gouache. This latter medium sounds great so I bought myself a set from Amazon (very quick delivery) and set about using it on plain MDF, no canvas or gesso. I was surprised how quickly it dried into a  nice mat finish. Click to enlarge the image.
