"Shallow Water Shadows" © #canyondechelly #oilpainting #laurawambsgans


The first time our Navajo guide drove up the shallow wash water we were surprised that the water was used as the road.  We traveled across the shallow water as much as on sand.  The reflections of the canyon walls and the lit trees against the backdrop of the shaded cliff was just stunning.  I thought I would give it a go at painting the scene.

Really nice, Laura, and the way you painted the thin water is masterful!

This is my favorite yet. You reflected the beauty of the canyon well, Laura!
