Autumn in Zion

While visiting our friends, Ken and Marilyn Peck, I noticed a photo the had in their family room of this striking scene near the Temple of Sacawava along the Virgin River in Zion National Park. I asked them if I could paint it for them ... I love the contrast between the deep shadows and the wonderful highlights. It makes the color jump right off the canvas! Acrylic on canvas 16" x 20".
