Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.628

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the Grand Canyon painting. I'm not working from a photo this time, just from the images left in my mind's eye from both our visit to the north rim and the gallery images.

When last seen the painting appeared as it does in the photo seen directly below.

Since that time I have continued to work on the painting.

I've now begun to overpaint the various elements barely visible in last week's version. Note the tortured junipers and underbrush. Out in the distance I've added more color to the buttes and shadowed area. It's starting to come together. Next week more definition.

The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.

I'll have more progress to show you next week. See you then.
