Oak Creek, the Red Rocks, Dry washes, and [...]

Grand Canyon Plein Air On The Rim 2011

jbeen — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 00:27:20 +0000

This year at the Grand Canyon Celebration of Art, Plein Air on the Rim was one of rain and challenging plein air painting. Ironically, the day we arrived, a wet cold front moved in and stuck to the Canyon like glue until the allotted one week of painting was over, then it moved on. I’ve never seen [...]

I had taken the trip up to Ptarmigan Lake outside of [...]
