| Boulders on the Virgin - Zion, 8" x 10" Oil; by Greg Newbold |
Here is my second attempt at the Virgin River painted during the early afternoon at Zion National Park. It was interesting that this subject didn't seem to suffer from the dramatic shadow shifts that some of the other Zion vistas exhibited.
I think I was more successful at capturing a range of value and color than the first painting I posted last time. I like the arrangement of shapes and the contrasts of the rushing water in this one and for the most part it works. I think this subject will make a nice larger painting and I'm looking forward to taking it on again sometime.

Really a beautiful painting - the colors are right on; the warms and cools maintain their separation well. The shapes are great too!
That's a tough motif dude. And you made it look great!
Simply beautiful! You have captured the beauty perfectly!
thanks everyone. I definitely agree with Brad, that this is a tough subject. I really enjoyed the challenge and I am please how it turned out.
