Reach


Reach - A Bryce Canyon Tree", 3'x4', acrylic on canvas

Another canvas complete for the black and white show in May. I've been wanting to paint this tree since I saw it on vacation in Bryce Canyon in 2009. My daughter, Lillian, and I saw it hanging onto a cliff and reaching skyward. It is hard to understand how these bare trees continue to hold on to the cliffs from year to year without falling into the canyon. This seems to us an amazing feat and the lines that they create against the sky are always quite satisfying.
