Description
An artist is seen working on a plen air painting of the Grand Canyon in Arizona amid the alpenglow of twilight. Cotton candy pink clouds float in the sky just after a beautiful sunset as deep blue shadow settles into the gorges beneath the temples of the Canyon. This southwestern desert landscape is one of the most iconic and complex in the world and a challenge to paint. Pinyon and pine trees line the South Rim just off the Desert View drive that offers some of the most popular views of the canyon. The Black Granite Gorge carved by the Colorado River can be seen in the distance. The Colorado Plateau is a large area in the American Southwest, with few populated areas (Flagstaff in Coconino County being one of them), allowing for some of the most pristine landscape and nature viewing in the US with its dramatic vistas and iconic landscapes.
The artist dons a red shirt, blue jeans and a baseball cap. He is even holding a palette and exhibiting great brushwork with a paintbrush. I wouldn't really say this is a self portrait, since I've never painted the Grand Canyon plen air, but I do see some resemblance, except his painting seems to be coming along a lot better than mine usually do. I've always been fascinated by paintings within paintings, and I worked to incorporate impressionism within impressionism.
