"Navajo Land" ©



Headed from Durango Colorado to Canyon de Chelly Arizona we crossed into the Navajo reservation.  These rocks were a common sight along the highway.  I loved watching the light change, the weird shaped rocks and distant mesas.  This little 9" X 12" painting will never be a studio piece but I had good time figuring out how to create the illusion of separation between the formations.  The Navajo land is open range, so we had to keep an eye out for cattle on the road.  Here is a little photo so you get the idea....looks like she is trying to hide behind the sign.

Well Sweetheart, your quest to figure out how to separate the formations certainly successful! Joy

Thank you Joy~ I will work on some more rock paintings until I have a solid approach. Maybe paint out at Vasquez more often would help.
