Canyon Color Study


6" x 8" oil on panel

I did several color studies of Palo Duro Canyon. This one was from near the top looking into and over a broad vista of the canyon. While the front rock outcropping looks a little like it's going up, the depth and flattening would have appeared w/ the details, I like the effect of the color flatness and simplicity. More to come.

Love the geometric feeling - abstract appearance.
Cool!

Hi Pam-thanks for stopping by my blog and for your comments. I like your work-this painting especially with the larger blocks of color.

Thanks Debbi, This was quick and fun.

Celeste, This is the 4th time in about a month someone has mentioned Diebenkorn. I'm going to have to study up on him.

Mary, hope you stop by often.
