Red Rock Crossing, 10x10 Oil on Canvas

This is Cathedral Rock again. After we went in the right direction to look for good views, we found this scene, and I hung out over the river to get this shot. A few minutes later we found THE view that is photographed more than any other rock formation in Arizona (see my post on May 29th titled "Cathedral Rock"). Today's painting is smaller, but that did not make it any easier to paint. There is a lot going on there, and I even eliminated the swimmers I saw braving the icy waters.

Cathedral Rock, 20x20 Oil

After what I went through to get this scene, I thought it deserved a bigger painting, so this one is 20x20 on stretched canvas. My husband and I went to a park, looking for this view of beautiful Cathedral Rock. We turned the wrong way and hiked and hiked, but that was a treat, because it was a beautiful path along the river. We came upon a forest of cairns that people had built of stacked stones--hundreds of them. We finally found the above scene 100 yards from our car after we hiked back. This is a much-photographed Sedona spot, and you can see why.
