Some rock paintings

I received an inquiry about my canyon country paintings a few days ago, and did I have them on my blog....yes......wait.....no. Somehow they slipped by, were painted before I started this blog, or were in an old post and needed to be updated anyway.  I have done quite a few of them. What can I say, I love Utah's canyon country. Here's a few of them:




Bullet Canyon #1


Another one from a riding trip in SE Utah. One of our favorite areas is Cedar Mesa, where there are few other people and the amount of public land is vast at 400,000 acres. Some of the canyons can be ridden in, but most of them are too trecherous. We enjoy riding along the canyon rims and peering into the huge canyons. This is looking into Bullet Canyon. 6X6 on Colourfix Suede, unframed.

SOLD




 








Bullet Canyon #2 

 

Another one from the rim of Bullet Canyon. 6X6 on Pastelmat, framed in a gorgeous Randy Higbee/Kingofframe "La Paz" frame. I will sell framed for $125.00, or unframed for $75.00.

Moab Red Rock

A Facebook friend took the photo I used for reference, thanks Sabrina! I cropped the photo to get the composition that I liked and painted from there. 6X6 on Pastelmat, framed in a gorgeous Randy Higbee/KingofFrame.com "La Paz"  frame.





Potholes

From a crop of a National Park Service photo, somewhere in the magical expanse of Canyonlands National Park. Some potholes are large enough to swim in, others barely a few cups. They come and go with the rains. They often have tadpoles, and brine shrimp that hatch from cysts. 6X6 unframed.

This one was from a photo taken on a family Lake Powell vacation. I don't recall which canyon, but it looks like the Escalante area. I gave it to my father as a memento of a wonderful trip. 9X12 on LaCarte




Not available-gifted

This one is from a horseback ride into White Canyon, west of Natural Bridges and east of the Black Box. I gave it to a friend when he helped me out by giving me one of his old wheelchairs (those things are expensive!). 8X8 on Uart.

Believe it or not I have more, but will save them for another post :)
