Around the Bend

This plein air piece was painted mid day at Badger Creek in the Vermillion Cliffs. I’ve been tweaking this one in the studio and I’m finally satisfied with this painting now that I’ve darkened the canyon walls and added rim lighting. Good things take time.

This was our third day at this amazing location and we were up there with the master painters from Plein Air Painters of America. Matt Smith, Dan Young, Skip Whitcomb, and Mitch Baird, and this was after a week in their workshop! Bucket list trip and this place is special. This 8 x 16 oil is on archival linen panel.

Your painting will be carefully wrapped and placed in a box with padding to protect it. It will be shipped unframed so you may frame it to match your decor and preferences. This is a completely original work of art and will come with a letter of authenticity. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
