In early June I went on a white water rafting trip down 188 miles of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. What an adventure! The white water rafting was a blast and the scenery spectacular. We hiked to some absolutely beautiful waterfalls including this one.
Something about the immense size of the canyon walls demanded that I paint much larger than I usually do. This is a full sheet of watercolor paper, 22 x 30". I painted it standing up at an easel using 1 1/2" brushes. Although I am usually much more comfortable painting small, there is something amazingly liberating about painting on a larger scale; one has to let go of all the details and stop fussing. This is a new venture for me and one I want to follow. Stay tuned to see what comes next!
