Paria Progress

Off for an extended plein-air painting camping expedition for a month.. so this studio piece will have to wait until I return. Here is how it stands as of this morning.  Really been hot here in the desert and in the studio.. looking forward to the high elevations of Utah!

Paria River Canyon revision

Here is the design I will be working with.. this is a fairly complete underpainting from which to adjust colors and values.. just a normal stage in development of the concept.
