Description
This landscape was mostly painted from the Lighthouse cabin on the rim of Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas Panhandle. I wanted to pain en plein aire, so I set up my French easel outside the little rock cabin. The wind was up and the acrylic paint dried rapidly. It was a race against time!
....................................
The main colors here are green, gray, blue, and tones of yellow--a little white, also. It features mesas and rocks. It is painted in a loose, somewhat impressionistic style. I had to hurry! But--in all honesty, it was finished indoors.
...................................
On the first night in the cabin, I could hear thunder, rain, and strong winds whipping down the canyon. I peered outside, and--everything was dry! There was no lightning, thunder, or rain. The wind was making all the noise, barreling around the rocks of the cabin. About the second day, I found a snake, huddling under the front of my shoe as I picked it up. Hubby said it was non-poisonous, and managed to take it out of the cabin.
...............................
What great fun we had! Study the Palo Duro Canyon, near Amarillo and Canyon, Texas. If you like the outdoors, this desert like place in definitely worth a visit.
