First Day of 2010

Rock People (formation: diamond peak pluton)

As I work in my warm studio on this first day of 2010 my thoughts keep returning to our Grand Canyon trips this last year.  Having put on the river in mid-December 2008, we had a cold and stormy trip, but a very memorable experience.   Our September 2009 trip was very relaxing by comparison.  Below are several plein air watercolor paintings on Claybord created during that trip.
