Description
A summer storm is approaching. Ominous clouds fill the sky above in Palo Duro Canyon, the grand canyon of Texas. What's left of daylight brightly illuminates the horizon as day turns into night. For a few minutes, right before total darkness, hints of color can still be seen on the canyon's floor.
This painting was inspired by a photograph I took while visiting in the summer of 2018. We had watched the musical show that night at the outdoor Pioneer Amphitheater. I was glad we left early to beat the crowd because the view at that moment took my breath away. The dramatic contrast between the darkness of night and day light, the energy filled storm clouds rolling in were magical yet scary. We knew we had to rush and get to our cabin before the storm started. What a storm it was!
Unlike my more realistic painting of this canyon, titled A place of Wonder, my objective here was to produce a semi abstract piece with an expressive quality. I utilized my palette knife to loosely drag the paint creating texture, bold strokes and sharp shifts in color.
